E DITORS ’ N OTES
It is the time to look forward to Founder’s Day this year, whose theme is Persistence and Endurance. 2015 is the 100 th anniversary of Shackleton’s Great Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition. Not surprisingly, this year’s DC Mathematica is tightly linked to the great spirits of a large number of mathematicians who devoted their whole lives to discover and explore mathematical principles behind simple questions. A large group of boys in the College have developed great enthusiasm to extend their vision beyond the syllabuses and they have made impressive progress. Not limited by their age, they eagerly show their discoveries by writing essays or short articles. During the editing process, we have received a considerable amount of articles and we have included some interesting mathematical puzzles for you to play with. Due to the limited length of this magazine, we are sorry that we cannot include all scripts we have received. Also thank you to Dr. Purchase for organising the editing again this year.
