More than 50,000 Swiss schoolchildren took part in this year’s challenge. To ensure that all the young participants understand the maths problems, the questions are translated into various languages – including, as of this year, Ukrainian. Alexey is a schoolboy from Ukraine. He has taken part in the competition several times in his home country and spoke to us about his experiences.Turbulent Affairs: Scientists extend the limits of what we know about powerful flow phenomenaSantina Russo, CSCShttps://math.ethz.ch/news-and-events/news/d-math-news/2023/03/turbulent-affairs-scientists-extend-the-limits-of-what-we-know-about-powerful-flow-phenomena.html2023-03-15T13:52:00ZIt doesn’t have to be a hurricane or a tsunami – even a simple running water tap induces a shock wave upon impact with the sink. Understanding such complex and violent fluid flow dynamics has helped scientists to design more efficient turbines and aircrafts, and to better predict weather and climate. Now, with the help of CSCS’s supercomputer "Piz Daint", mathematician Siddhartha Mishra is working to overcome current barriers to simulating and comprehending highly turbulent flows.Walter Saxer Prize 2023Monika Krichel, RiskLabhttps://math.ethz.ch/news-and-events/news/d-math-news/2023/03/walter-saxer-prize-2023.html2023-03-15T13:15:00ZThe 2023 Walter Saxer Prize goes to Gabriele Visentin for his doctoral thesis and to Rebecca Morger for her Master's thesis.
