Math Olympiad: Jan Audretsch Takes Second Place in the National Round

Isn’t that amazing? At the national round of the 2018 Math Olympiad in Würzburg, Steinmühlen student Jan Audretsch (9th grade) took second place! Jan received a personal letter of congratulations from Hesse’s Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs, Prof. Dr. Alexander Lorz. The letter reads, in part: “In this mathematically challenging competition, you have demonstrated that you possess a high degree of abstract thinking and a wide range of mathematical methods.” We really couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
Dear Jan, Steinmühle is incredibly proud of you. It’s almost unbelievable to achieve such a high ranking! At the same time, however, we already know that this wasn’t your last competition success, and according to the school administration and your math teacher, Constanze Oestreicher-Gold, we’ll soon have even more good news to share about you. Huge congratulations! Keep up the great work—we’re rooting for you!
