About the Award关于丘奖
Founded in 2008 by Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau and hosted by Tsinghua University (Yau Mathematical Sciences Center), the S.-T. Yau High School Science Award spans six disciplines: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and Economic & Financial Modeling. With divisions across Mainland China, Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan, North America, the UK, and Asia, more than 500 international scientists serve on its review and advisory panels.丘成桐中学科学奖（简称“丘奖”）由菲尔兹奖得主丘成桐先生于 2008 年发起设立，清华大学主办、清华大学丘成桐数学科学中心承办，涵盖数学、物理、化学、生物、计算机、经济金融建模六大学科。赛区覆盖国内 30 个省市自治区、港澳台，以及美国、英国、加拿大、新加坡等地，500 余位来自全球的科学家担任评委或顾问。
We focus specifically on the Mathematics Division. Mathematical evaluation prioritizes disciplinary relevance, originality of ideas, and rigor of mathematical derivations — the exact capabilities cultivated through 1-on-1 faculty mentorship: mastering analytical tools, close reading of primary literature, independent proof construction, and formal LaTeX writing. According to official award records, over half of award-winning secondary students have matriculated at leading institutions including Harvard, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Tsinghua, and Peking University.我们专注数学方向。数学评审看重与数学学科的相关性、研究思路的原创性和数学推导的严密性，这正是导师一对一带学生走完一次真实研究所训练的能力：补足工具、精读文献、独立推导、写成报告。据丘奖官网介绍，超过 1/2 的获奖中学生经推荐进入清华、北大、哈佛、MIT、耶鲁和普林斯顿等中外知名大学就读。
Competition Schedule参赛日程
Below is the 2026 Mainland China division schedule (verified against the official Yau Award portal). North America and Asia divisions follow their respective regional calendars.以下为 2026 年内地赛区赛程（核对自丘奖官网）。亚洲、北美赛区另有赛程，每年以官网公布为准。
Register on the official website (yau-awards.com) individually or in teams of 1–3 students from the same secondary school, select Mathematics, and submit the PDF research report.在丘奖官网（yau-awards.com）注册，1 – 3 名同一所中学的学生以个人或组队形式报名，选择数学学科，并提交 PDF 研究报告。
The organizing committee reviews registration materials and submitted research reports for formal compliance and academic integrity.组委会对报名信息与研究报告进行材料审核。
Regional panels evaluate entries on mathematical relevance, originality of approach, and rigor of proofs, followed by oral defense interviews.评审围绕与数学学科的相关性、研究思路的原创性和数学推导的严密性等标准进行，并安排面试答辩。
Each discipline awards 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 3 Bronze, and 5 Honorable Mentions, alongside 1 overall Grand Science Gold Award.各学科设金奖 1 个、银奖 1 个、铜奖 3 个、优胜奖 5 个，另设科学金奖 1 个。
How NingHe Helps宁和如何帮助你
Mentors guide students 1-on-1 through topic scoping, literature reading, mathematical derivations, LaTeX writing, and mock defense — while the research report remains strictly the student’s own work.导师一对一陪学生走完选题、精读、推导、写作与答辩的每一步，研究报告由学生本人完成。
Mentors evaluate the student’s readiness in calculus, linear algebra, proof writing, and literature reading, then formulate a tractable research question aligned with the award’s criteria of mathematical relevance, originality, and rigor.导师先了解学生在微积分、线性代数、证明写作和英文文献阅读方面的准备情况，再对照丘奖数学评审看重的相关性、原创性与推导严密性，一起定下可推进的研究课题。
Access our network of PhD and postdoctoral mentors across pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and mathematical statistics for 1-on-1 supervision and official competition Advisor endorsement.拥有覆盖纯数学、应用数学、数理统计等领域的博士/博士后导师网络，协助学生与专业导师建立 1v1 指导关系，导师可作为参赛所需的挂名 Advisor。
Initial sessions build vector calculus and differential geometry foundations, followed by mentor-guided reading of classical papers (such as Gage–Hamilton), where students compute proofs independently before presenting them in session.前几次补齐向量微积分与曲线几何背景，之后由导师带读 Gage–Hamilton 等经典论文，学生课前自行计算、课上讲解，逐步完成核心推导与证明。
Guide students in typesetting their work in LaTeX / Overleaf according to official Yau Award structure (title page, abstract, keywords, table of contents, theorems, proofs, bibliography, and acknowledgments).指导学生用 LaTeX / Overleaf，按丘奖对研究报告的结构要求（封面、摘要、关键词、目录、正文、参考文献、致谢）完成写作，定理、证明、图表与引用清晰规范。
Conduct mock academic defenses tailored to regional and final rounds, training students to articulate their mathematical ideas clearly and respond to committee questioning.针对评审阶段的面试答辩进行模拟演练，训练学生清晰、自信地讲解自己的研究，并回应评委的追问。
FAQ常见问题
The program consists of 20 weekly 1-on-1 sessions. Early sessions build vector calculus and curve geometry foundations; next, the mentor guides close reading of classical papers while the student works through calculations before each session; finally, the student leads a specific research question and writes the paper in LaTeX. All derivations and writing are completed by the student under mentor guidance.项目为 20 周、20 次导师一对一。前几次补齐向量微积分与曲线几何背景；之后导师带读经典论文，学生课前自行计算、课上讲解；后期由学生主导选题，把研究写成研究报告。研究与写作由学生本人完成，导师负责方法指导与推导把关。
NingHe is an independent academic mentoring institution providing faculty research guidance and defense preparation. Official registration and submission take place directly on yau-awards.com.宁和是独立的学术辅导机构，提供导师研究指导与参赛准备服务。报名与参赛通过丘奖官网（yau-awards.com）进行。
Foundational calculus (including multivariable/vector calculus) is recommended. The mentor first evaluates your readiness in calculus, linear algebra, proof writing, and English mathematical reading, and dedicates early sessions to bridging any foundational gaps.需要有向量微积分基础。导师会先了解学生在微积分、线性代数、证明写作和英文文献阅读方面的准备情况，项目前几次会安排背景补足。
The core curriculum spans 20 weeks. With the Mainland China division submission deadline on September 15, starting by March or April allows a comfortable pace; students may also begin ~12 months ahead targeting the following year’s cycle for deeper mathematical exploration.项目为 20 周。2026 年内地赛区注册与提交截止为 9 月 15 日，按 20 周倒推，4 月前开始最从容；也可以直接对标下一届，提前一年左右开始，研究做得更扎实。具体日期以丘奖官网当年公布为准。
