The Kurdish Mathematical Society (KMS), in partnership with the University of Kurdistan-Hewlêr (UKH), is proud to launch the First Kurdistan Mathematics Competition! This exciting new initiative aims to identify and nurture mathematically gifted Kurdish students from across the Kurdistan Region. Our ultimate goal is to prepare these talented individuals for participation in the International Mathematics Competition (IMC), providing them with a platform to showcase their academic excellence on a global stage.

This competition is unique because it's not just for mathematics students; we welcome all undergraduates from various disciplines and departments who have a passion for mathematics and wish to demonstrate their skills.
