Organisation

The organisation of the LIMO is handled by five committee members of the FMF. Below, you can find an introduction to and a picture of everyone involved in the committee.


This year's LIMO is organised by the FMF, a study association manifested at the University of Groningen. The FMF acts as the study association for (Applied) Mathematics.

Carina Schoenmaker || Chairman

Hello, I am Carina Schoenmaker, 23 years old and chair of the LIMO 2018 committee. I study mathematics and biology and furthermore I love to play board games, hike in the woods and cook, mostly because I love to eat too. Together with the rest of the committee I will try my best to make the LIMO an exciting day of maths and being together with people who love mathematics as much as we do.

Ruben IJpma || Secretary

Hi! I am 22, from Groningen, and a third year mathematics student with interest in pure analysis and topology. I spend a lot of time studying in the university library, and occasionally I am sociable. Further, I like trance music, Formula 1 and the Kuratowski closure-complement problem. I am no star in olympiad questions, but as the secretary I will address any other question you have: limo@fmf.nl. See you on May 18th!

Josselin Kooij || Acquisition

I am 23, from Drenthe, and a third year master student in education in Groningen. I am currently in the board of the FMF and have been a teacher in mathematics in the years before that. I like playing guiter, singing, dancing and being creative. I competed in the LIMO three years ago and I would love to see how this years competition will turn out! Hope to see you on May 18th!

Leander van Beek || Website & Promotion

Hiya! My name is Leander and I'm a 21 year old Theoretical Physicist and Astronomer. This makes me outlier in the group. I am however very fanatic about the maths I encounter and find organising activities such as the LIMO a rewarding challenge. My responsibilities are this web site and promotion, so if you see any bugs around here, please notify me. :) In my little spare time I enjoy running and solving project Euler problems.

Sven Cats || Competition Commissioner

Hi, I'm Sven. I'm 19 years old and a second year mathematics student in Groningen. In my free time I enjoy playing futsal, doing card tricks and looking at maths-themed memes. As competition commissioner, I had the great honour to contact many famous mathematicians, including some of my personal heroes, asking them whether they had any questions for this year's LIMO. These questions will hopefully provide more than enough fun and challenge for all of you. See you in Groningen!
