The Chinese Mathematics Competitions (CMC) is one of the top competitions of the national mathematics competitions in undergraduate level. It is divided into Professional Group and the Science and Technology group, aiming to forge a platform for young students to practice their knowledge of Mathematics and for the country to cultivate future talents. Guangdong Mathematics Competition for University Students consisted of Economics and Management Division and Higher Vocational College Division, to encourage students of such educational background to compete with each other in an advanced level.

To be well prepared for the competition, BNUZ held a grand university-level in September this year and appointed two teachers, Gao Wenhua and Duan Wenxi, to provide some training for the participating students.
