During the year our students participate in various interlycealing and tournaments. They often come very far here and sometimes fall into the prices themselves. Read all about these interlycealing and tournaments here.
Singapore International Mathematical & Computational Challenge
An LCL team consisting of Remmo Klaver, Oliver Li and Yu Hao Lin will participate in the Singapore International Mathematical & Computational Challenge, a prestigious teamed competition in mathematics and programming from Monday 20 May to Friday 24 May 2024.
After a direct flight of almost 15 hours with arrival on Sunday morning in Singapore there was one day to explore this imposing metropolis. The same day was to process the jet lag and to get used to the extreme climate on the equator! That all seems to have worked out well.
On Monday the opening ceremony was held and then there were introductory activities and lectures planned. There are 42 schools from 27 countries participating.
The game will start on Tuesday. Students then work 30 hours (non-stop, but may sleep in between) on the challenge. On Wednesday they have to submit their report at the end of the afternoon, and on Thursday they will defend their findings in several presentations to various judges.
Good luck Remmo, Oliver and Yu Hao!
Olympiad party
Last Tuesday, April 16, 2024, we finished the Olympic season with a party. Students and their parents were welcome to have a drink in the C-aula. The students received their certificates and certificates there. They're so great!
Second Prize at Mathematics B Day
An LCL team consisting of Olivia Abbo, Tristan Tangdiongga, Lucia Zhou Jiang and Sofia Zhou Jiang has won the second prize at the Mathematics B-Day. On Friday 10 November 2023, more than 4000 students participated in this competition. After an intensive jury process, the eight best teams were invited to the award ceremony.
Our students received their prize on Friday 22 March in the stately Academy Building of Utrecht University at the Domplein. After the ceremony a guided tour followed the impressive Senate hall dating from 1636 and the chapter room, where the Union of Utrecht was signed in 1579. The evening ended with a chic dinner on site.
During the Mathematics B-day, students in teams of four students spend a whole day researching an open problem that relies on computational and algorithmic skills. Schools are allowed to submit their best research reports. Mathematics B-day takes place simultaneously in schools in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Slovakia. The organisation in the Netherlands is in the hands of the UU.
Dutch Mathematics Olympiad
The Lorentz Casimir Lyceum has won the school prize of the Dutch Mathematics Olympiad 2024! With an extremely minimal head start of 1 point on the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden and 3 points on the Willem Lodewijk Gymnasium from Groningen, our six best students managed to score the highest sum score (174) in a field of 310 participating schools. Team LCL consisted of Remmo Klaver (V5, 30 points), Jurre Klomp (V5, 29 points), Oliver Li (V4, 34 points), Yu Hao Lin (V4, 27 points), Dennis Zhang (V3, 31 points) and Willem van der Velden (V2, 23 points).
Since the introduction of the school prize in 1980, our school has won it most from all schools in the Netherlands, namely in 1993, 1995 (then as Lorentz Lyceum), 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2024. The LCL is the Real Madrid of the Dutch Mathematics Olympiad.
European Olympiad of Experimental Science (EOES))
On 25 and 26 January the national final round of the European Olympiad of Experimental Science (EOES) took place at HAN University of Applied Sciences in Nijmegen. The mixed school team consisting of Jochem Kistemaker (Stedelijk Gymnasium, Schiedam), Robert Stepanyan (Trevianum, Sittard) and Kjeld Zwitserloot (Gymnasium Beekvliet, Sint-Michielsgestel) won this national final round. The second place goes to the mixed school team consisting of Imre Bekkering (Willem Lodewijk Gymnasium, Groningen), Ralph de Boer (Lorentz Casimir Lyceum, Eindhoven) and Matthijs de Ruiter (Stedelijk Gymnasium, Nijmegen).
The two winning teams represent the Netherlands at the EOES-2024 held in Luxembourg from 7 to 14 April and in which almost all EU countries participate.
Final N.K. school chess
On Tuesday 23 January a chess team of the LCL in Scheveningen finished fifth in the final of the Dutch school chess championship in category VO-I (all years of study). Elysia Feng (V5c), Polina Kulikova (V4e), Theo Qi (V6d) and Freek Thijssen (G1b) In November and December, almost 500 students from more than 80 VO schools participated in the qualifying tournaments against all expectations.
The final took place in a chic hall of the AFAS Circustheater in Scheveningen. Between the parties there was an opportunity to take a look at the world summit, which at the same location finished their parties in the ninth round of the Tata Steel Grand Master Tournament. All in all an intensive but beautiful day.
