A Letter from the Students of the "Dr.Ioan Mesota" High School to Their Sponsors

We represent the "Dr. Ioan Mesota" High School in the 2002 ACSL competition. We first participated in ACSL last year and we won top scores in all four long-distance phases of the competition.

Some of us also won the “Top Scoring Student” awards for maximum scores at the All-Star Contest in Miami.
 

In September 2001 we resumed the preparation for the 2002 contest. The first two stages of the competition have already taken place and the majority of us have obtained maximum scores again.

Each of us works independently for 3-4 hours a day under the guidance of professor Emilia Mailat, who was our advisor last year as well. Then every Friday and Saturday we meet as a group, solving math and computer science problems or discussing issues concerning the contest.

In our study, we use the bibliography from previous ACSL competitions and many other books suggested by our teacher. Among them are computer science-books with problems given at Olympiads and contests from all over the world.


Doing our best in the competition has become our top priority, and we are motivated by the last year's experience and by the support of our sponsors. We'll strive not to disappoint those who trust us: thank you all! If you can help us this year financially or otherwise, please contact our teacher, Mrs. Emilia Mailat" (email: ema_baciu@hotmail.com ) or, for tax-deductible donations, the Aspera Foundation (email: contact@aspera.ro ).


Below is our team and we hope we will be all winners!!!
