Zarasai, Lithuania
Where equations meet the horizon
Math Camp Zarasai brings together the most curious young minds across Europe for an intensive exploration of mathematical beauty. Set on the shores of Lake Zarasas, the camp merges rigorous academic training with the tranquility of Lithuanian lakeland.
Designed for students preparing for national and international olympiads, the program covers number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and algebra through lectures, problem-solving sessions, and collaborative workshops led by distinguished mathematicians.
Beyond the classroom, participants will form lasting connections with peers who share their passion for elegant proofs and creative problem solving — all in one of the most serene corners of the Baltics.
Welcome ceremony followed by an introduction to olympiad problem solving — heuristics, pattern recognition, and the art of mathematical thinking.
Divisibility, modular arithmetic, Fermat's little theorem, and the Chinese remainder theorem. Evening problem set in teams.
Counting principles, the pigeonhole principle, inclusion-exclusion, and double counting. Workshop on bijective proofs.
Classical Euclidean geometry, transformations, the power of a point, and radical axes. Live construction sessions.
Polynomial identities, functional equations, and classical inequalities (AM-GM, Cauchy-Schwarz, Schur). Problem marathon.
Problem solving by the lake, recreational mathematics, kayaking, and an evening bonfire with math puzzles. Rest and recharge.
Quadratic residues, Diophantine equations, p-adic valuations, and Lifting the Exponent Lemma. Guest lecture on analytic number theory.
Graph theory, generating functions, extremal combinatorics, and probabilistic methods. Collaborative research problems.
Projective geometry, inversive geometry, complex numbers in geometry, and barycentric coordinates.
Full-day mock olympiad — individual and team rounds. Problems curated by our instructors at IMO difficulty level.
Solution presentations, award ceremony, farewell talks, and a sunset gathering by Lake Zarasas. Until next year.
Our instructors are accomplished mathematicians, olympiad coaches, and passionate educators from leading universities across Europe.
Lithuanian Mathematical Olympiad committee member. Research in algebraic number theory and Diophantine equations.
IMO gold medalist (2012). Specializes in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics. Three-time camp instructor.
Author of "Problems in Projective Geometry". Coached five IMO teams. Pioneer in geometric transformation pedagogy.
Researcher in extremal graph theory and Ramsey problems. Hungarian mathematics tradition ambassador.
Bridges pure mathematics and probability. Known for making abstract concepts tangible through elegant examples.
Head of the Lithuanian olympiad training program. Specializes in functional equations and inequalities.
Mathematical modeling researcher. Creates interdisciplinary problem sets connecting pure math to real-world phenomena.
Young researcher with a gift for exposition. Her workshops on mathematical visualization are consistently the highest rated.
Zarasai is a quiet town in northeastern Lithuania, surrounded by over 300 lakes. The camp takes place at a lakeside venue on the shores of Lake Zarasas — the perfect setting for deep thought and natural inspiration.
The region's forests, waterways, and wide skies have drawn artists and thinkers for centuries. We believe the best mathematics happens when the mind has room to breathe.
Comfortable rooms with lake views, just steps from the lecture halls and the water.
Three meals daily featuring Lithuanian cuisine — from fresh cepelinai to smoked fish.
Organized bus transfers from Vilnius on arrival and departure days.
Kayaking, swimming, hiking trails, and evening bonfires by the water.
