The 17th International Mathematics Competition for European, Asian and American students took place in Bulgaria, 24-30 July 2010. 329 students from 92 universities took part in the event. Although the competition was for individuals, university teams were also ranked. The competition paper consisted of ten tasks. Competitors could receive ten points for each task. As usually, the representatives of our university achieved remarkably good results.
Przemysław Mazur, the student of the Institute of Mathematics, UJ, was awarded first prize – he was the only one who managed to solve nine tasks including the most difficult one, which was solved only by him and by Oleksandr Shamow from Kiev. It is not the first success of our prizewinner since he won the same competition two years ago. As a secondary school student, he was awarded first prizes in international mathematics contests in Slovenia (2006), Vietnam (2007), and Spain (2008).
Other representatives of the Jagiellonian University received first class prize (Jakub Konieczny), second class prize (Mikołaj Frączyk), and third class prize (Maciej Gawron).
The team was supervised by Sławomir Dinew.
 

The ranking of individual achievements is as follows:
•    Przemysław Mazur — Jagiellonian University 89 points
•    Ivan Feshchenko  — Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University 84 points
•    Danylo Radchenko  — Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University 82 points
•    Dan Carmon  — Tel Aviv University 81 points
•    Pavel Zatitskiy  — Saint-Petersburg State University 74 points
•    Evgeny Gorinov  — Moscow State University 72 points
•    Oleksandr Shamov  — Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University 71 points
•    Vladimir Shmarov  — Moscow State University 70 points
•    Vladislav Volkov  — Saint-Petersburg State University 70 points
•    Ruslan Maksimau  — Belarusian State University 68 points
 

In an unofficial team ranking the JU team was ranked fifth. Team results are a total of the three best students’ scores and an arithmetic mean of all the students’ scores.
The top twelve results in the team ranking list are as follows (the number of students is quoted in brackets):
•    Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University (4) 307,25
•    Moscow State University (5) 259,8
•    Saint-Petersburg State University (7) 250,86
•    Israeli National Team (7) 243,57
