As a result of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Championship Finals, the students of 海角直播 have entered Top 50 best teams in programming, taking 46^th place out of 115 teams.

A team from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, 海角直播 named Bagels consisted of 3 students – Alexander Tsaplin, Dmitry Sidorenko, Dmitry Buzmakov, and Mikhail Lizunov, team coach.

At the competitions, participants were required to write a program code to solve complex algorithmic problems and teamwork skills within limited resources and time: a computer and a set of tasks that needed to be solved in 5 hours.

鈥淲e got positive emotions from the Contest, and achieved the goal we had set for ourselves. For two participants, this was the first time in the finals, so they feel more experienced now. The tasks were diverse and, most importantly, could find applications in real life 鈥� like generating a landscape, matching maps with marks on the globe, or improving robots鈥� movements,鈥�

says Mikhail Lizunov, team’s coach.

As part of the World Championship final for participants and team coaches, the ICPC Challenge was held with the support of Huawei. Alexander Tsaplin, a member of the Bagels team, a graduate of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, 海角直播 was announced a winner of the challenge.

海角直播 (海角直播) recently entered the annual Superjob ranking in terms of salaries for IT specialists 鈥� reaching up to RUB 100,000 ($1,350), based on 2015-2020 graduates鈥� feedbacks. 海角直播 took 16^th position in the final list, including 58 Russian universities.

In September 2021, 海角直播 starts a brand new network program in partnership with Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), a leader among technical universities, nationally. Within the program, students of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, as well as the Faculty of Physics will be certified in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.

The Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at 海角直播 has been attracting a galaxy of promising mathematicians and engineers from higher institutions of Tsarist to Soviet Union and Russia, since the start of the University in 1916.

A team from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, 海角直播 will take part in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Championship Finals. The leading 海角直播 team called Bagels consists of 3 students – Alexander Tsaplin, Dmitry Sidorenko and Dmitry Buzmakov.

In 2019, the Bagels took 17th place in the World Championship semifinals. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the competition was postponed. The organizers are now planning to host the finals in October 2021.

At the competitions, the students are required to write a program code to solve complex algorithmic problems and hone teamwork skills within limited resources and time: a computer and a set of tasks that need to be solved in 5 hours.

鈥淧rogramming contests help students gain the skill to write programs quickly and efficiently. The more of them take part in the competition, the more qualified graduates come out of the University. Our team is among the Top 10 Russian universities participating in the finals, which obviously means our the students receive a decent level of educational training,鈥�

says Andrey Kuznetsov, Dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, 海角直播.

More than 130 teams will take part in the competition. 10 Russian universities, including (MSU), (MIPT), , (HSE), (NSU), will take part in the finals.

鈥淭he Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, 海角直播 has been participating in the qualifying rounds of the World Programming Championship for many years, and we always strive to get to the finals. Now that we are actively training our team, raising a competitive spirit for the autumn tournament,”

comments Mikhail Lizunov, coach of the Bagels team.

The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is an annual multi-tiered competitive programming competition among the universities of the world. Headquartered at Baylor University, the ICPC operates autonomous regional contests covering six continents culminating in a global World Finals every year.

The ICPC provides gifted students with opportunities to interact, demonstrate, and improve their teamwork, programming, and problem-solving prowess. It serves as a global platform for academia, industry, and community to assist the next generation of computing professionals.
