We kindly invite you to participate in SEEMOUS 2017 with a team from your university. The aim of this competition is to challenge and encourage mathematically gifted university students for further success, to create friendly relationships between them and to create opportunity for exchanging information among participating universities about mathematics syllabi in higher education.
