Felsted Upper Sixth student Anthony Hickling, has claimed the top spot in the county for Mathematics, after achieving bronze in Round One of the British Mathematical Olympiad.
The first round of the challenge lasts three and a half hours and contains six complex and involved mathematical problems for which full written solutions are required. Anthony’s score placed him in the top 100 nationally and qualified him for Round Two, which he sat at the end of January.
Anthony now waits to find out if he ranks high enough to be in with the chance of representing the British Team for the International Maths Olympiad in Hong Kong over the summer.
After being one of only 40 students across the UK last year to be invited to take part in a prestigious Maths School based at Oxford University, Anthony was recently offered a place at Robinson College, Cambridge to study Mathematics.
Speaking about the competition, Anthony comments: "It has been great fun competing against the top mathematicians in the country and I hope that I get the opportunity to compete with them in Hong Kong."
