Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Теодор фон Бург - најбољи млади математичар на свету

Матурант Математичке гимназије у Београду освојио је четврту златну медаљу на Међународној математичкој олимпијади у Аргентини. На такмичењу које се од 4. до 16. јула одржавало у Јужној Америци фон Бург је освајањем четврте златне мадеље (уз једну бронзу и једно сребро), са укупно шест одличја, постао најбољи такмичар свих времена. У 53 године дугој историји постоје још само три особе којима је ово пошло за руком.

До сада је на међународним математичким олимпијадама 11 математичара освојило Fields-ову медаљу и још око 20 математичара освојило је најпрестижнија научна признања из математике и рачунарства. Теодор фон Бург, „дечко вредан пажње“, једини је освојио шест медаља, од којих четири златне.

Фон Бург од седмог разреда основне школе, као ученик огледног одељења, похађа Математичку гимназију. После завршене основне, наставља школовање у Математичкој гимназији, где је ове године и матурирао, а на студије одлази у Оксфорд. Још као основац такмичио се са средњошколцима и освајао медаље: 2007. у Вијетнаму је освојио бронзану медаљу, 2008. у Шпанији сребрну, а 2009. у Немачкој, 2010. у Казахстану, 2011. у Холандији и ове године у Аргентини осваја златне олимпијске медаље.

History, Truth, Holiness

by Bishop Maxim Vasiljevic

Bishop Maxim’s first book, described by Fr. John Breck as an “exceptionally important collection of essays” contributing to both the theology of being and also contemporary theological questions, is now available! Christos Yannaras describes Bishop Maxim as “a theologian who illumines” and Fr. John McGuckin identifies his work as “deeply biblical and patristic, academically learned yet spiritually rich.” The first half of the book collects papers emphasizing theological ontology and epistemology, reminding us how both the mystery of the Holy Trinity and that of the Incarnation demand that we rethink every philosophical supposition; it includes chapters on holiness as otherness, truth and history, and the biochemistry of freedom. The second half of the book features lectures dedicated to the theological questions posed by modern theology, including studies of Orthodox and Roman Catholic ecclesiology, liturgics, and the theology of icons.
