Of the seven members on the Israeli team who represented the country\u2019s higher education institutions, two students from the Technion performed exceptionally. Ofir Gorodetsky, a 19 year old from Haifa, placed 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0out of 305 competitors and Shahar Papini, also a Technion student, placed 25<sup>th<\/sup>. These two competitors surpassed contestants from prestigious universities from around the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During the competition, Israeli representatives won 4 first prizes and 3 second prizes, so that by the end of the competition the Israeli delegation reached 5<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0place in team scores, beating the Iranian delegation, considered the best mathematics team.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ofir Gorodetsky, who completed his undergraduate mathematics studies at the Technion last year when he was only 19, is now a soldier in an elite army unit. \u00a0While serving in the IDF, he takes Mathematics graduate courses at the Tel Aviv University. \u00a0His father, Grisha Gorodetsky, is from a family of Russian refuseniks who in the 1950s lived in the city of Samara on the banks of the Volga River, and his mother is from Moldova.\u00a0 Grisha explained that his son, Ofir, who was born in Israel, has loved mathematics all his life and hopes to work in this field in the future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ofir, who returned to his army base immediately after coming back from the competition, attended the Ironi Hey high school in Haifa and while still in high school skipped a year and registered for mathematics studies at the Open University. After one year he transferred to the Technion where he completed his undergraduate degree last year, making both the President\u2019s and Dean\u2019s List.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Shahar Papini, who placed 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0in the world, also serves in an elite unit. He is a Technion reserve officer and will serve for six years in the army. A Haifa resident, aged 21, he completed his undergraduate degree in computer science, mathematics and physics. Shahar, after returning to Israeli, reported that \u201cthe atmosphere at the competition was good; we did not mix politics and mathematics. We focused on the competition itself and did really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to Shahar, \u201cin the past few years we have been doing really well. Last year we also placed high. Israel is at the top of international mathematics and just like last year, this year, we also beat the strong Iranian delegation as well as representatives from world famous universities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excellent results for the Technion and the Israeli delegation to the International Mathematics Competition held last week: Ofir Gorodetsky placed 12th\u00a0&amp; Shahar Papini placed 25th\u00a0out of 305 participants Yet another great achievement for Haifa\u2019s Technion: In last week\u2019s International Mathematics Competition for University Students, the Israeli team took 5th place out of 77 teams.
