Happy one year anniversary of the group!

After this group was officially founded on 1st October 2008, We have been working quite hard on improving Mathematics education and encourage students in Cambodia to work harder and harder to achieve their goals and become outstanding students. Since our group is newly created without any experiences, our first target was just to gathering Cambodian former top high school students to get ideas to contribute to develop education system in Cambodia. Moreover, We just try to gather high school students who want to build their capacity on various subjects especially Mathematics. Third, the successful factor in the first year is we have shared documents and ideas with everyone though it can be seen that most group works were conducted via Internet. However, those were all we could do at the beginning since most of us are students not experts. Starting with just an idea, we finally created this site for the group! Soon after the existence of this blog, we established another discussion site for storing our documents and discussion between members, www.group.google.com/groups/groupcmg. Furthermore, We finally created the third site in Khmer language, www.groupcmg.wordpress.com, for those who have limited language ability.

Actually, we realized that our first year was not perfect, many things still have to be corrected; however, with the experience in the first year, we promise to better all the systems in the group!

Here is our slogan: Commit and Master to make Glories
•Commit : Everyone join
•Master : Everyone learn
•Glories : Everyone succeed

We are setting our targets for the second year, so share your ideas if you want somethings from us. Also, we also would love to cooperate with any organizations, so if you are interested to working and helping us, please contact us.

Many books are available now!

Our group library, which used to be available for members only, is now available to everyone for download many great math books. We decided this because we want to increase chances for all Cambodian students to have enough sources to improve their education. Please click here to download

IMO 2009 Germany - Day 1 Problems

Problem 1. Let n be a positive integer and let a1,a2,a3,...,ak ( k≥ 2) be distinct integer in the set { 1,2,...,n} such that n divides ai(ai+1-1) for i = 1,2,...,k-1. Prove that n does not divide ak(a1-1).

Problem 2. Let ABC be a triangle with circumcenter O. The points P and Q are interior points of the sides CA and AB respectively. Let K,L and M be the midpoints of the segments BP,CQ and PQ. respectively, and let Γ be the circle passing through K,L and M. Suppose that the line PQ is tangent to the circle Γ. Prove that OP = OQ.

Problem 3. Suppose that s1,s2,s3, ... is a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers such that the sub-sequences ss_{1},ss_{2},ss_{3}, ... and ss_{1+1},ss_{2+1},ss_{3+1}, ... are both arithmetic progressions. Prove that the sequence s1,s2,s3, ... is itself an arithmetic progression.

Your chance to learn many things from SEALNet!

Project Cambodia (Arts)
When: Monday 10 August 2009 – Tuesday 25 August 2009
Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Project Cambodia 2009 (PC09) aims to help renew interest in traditional Cambodian performing arts through the production of two outreach concerts in Phnom Penh.

The main objective of PC09 is to identify, encourage, and support Cambodian youth by creating an opportunity for these students to gain leadership and personal development skills and experience.
• Empower youth and give them the tools to positively impact their community and culture.
