Náboj, a competition charged with math!

Difficulty of the problems is appropriate both for students inexperienced in mathematical competitions and for students who have already succeeded in Mathematical Olympiad. This is achieved by arranging the problems in order of their perceived difficulty. Problems in Náboj differ considerably from the routine school exercises which usually require only direct application of a given method: the Náboj problems require certain amount of inventiveness and ingenuity. Success in the competition does not depend on the individual abilities of the team members only but also on their efficient cooperation. Apart from enhancing imagination and logical reasoning our goal is to attract people to the endless beauty hidden in mathematics. Problems from previous Náboj competitions can be found in the archive.

Since 2005, Náboj Math has been taking place in multiple countries simultaneously. It gives a unique opportunity for students to compare their abilities and knowledge to their counterparts from other countries. Although the results are evaluated primarily on local level, an international comparison adds an extra motivation and rivalry.
