PREFACE

Ahogyan az Olimpia РвĪгtОsОТ szinte СĪsФцnt jelentek meg az ünnОpХĪ közönség ОХĪtt, úgy ebben az ТНĪbОn a szellemi vetélkedés e sajátos területén érmet nyert fiatalokat is СĪsѓФФцnt köszöntöttük a Fizikai Diákolimpián. Magyar fizikusként és akadémiai elnökként lapozgatva ezt a könyvet különös érzés kerít hatalmába. Az elsĪ Fizikai Diákolimpián szereplĪk ma hatvan év körüliek. Sokan lettek közülük ismert alakjai a világ tudományos életének. Az elsĪ olimpia abszolút nyertese Szalay Sándor, a debreceni intézetalapító fizikaprofesszor Szalay Sándor fia, aki ma – inkább Alex Szalayként ismert – világhírű fizikus, Akadémiánk tagja. De ott vannak az elsĪ évek helyezettjei között Ormos Pál és Mihály László akadémikusok, Maróti Péter a Szegedi Tudományegyetem professzora, hogy a Diákolimpiák elsĪ korszakából említsek néhány olyan nevet, akik mára a fizikai kutatások meghatározó személyiségeivé váltak. Szegeden, a József Attila Tudományegyetemen évfolyamtársam volt Iglói Ferenc - ma az MTA doktora -, akinek problémamegoldó képességét csodálattal figyeltük, és aki az 1971-es szófiai Fizikai Diákolimpián harmadik helyezett lett. Saját generációmtól eltávolodva örömmel látom, hogy a fiatalabbak közül is sokukat ismerhetem mint egyetemi tanárt, megbecsült kutatót, az MTA doktorát. A még fiatalabbak között számosan vannak, akikkel ФТОЦОХФОНĪ tОСОtsцРű fiatal kutatóként ismerkedhettem meg és néhányukat magam is tanítottam a Debreceni Egyetemen. E személyes ismeretségek alapján megfogalmazódik bennem, milyen naРвsгОrű eszköze is a tehetség kibontakoztatásának az ilyen szellemi ОrĪПОsгъtцsrО sarkalló, az ОrĪПОsгъtцssОХ arányos elismerést adó verseny, mint a Fizikai Diákolimpia. E szellemi versengés kitartó és kemény munka eredményeként hozott sikert, tartós sikert a РвĪгtОsОФnОФμ nem csupán azt a naРвsгОrű pillanatot adva nekik, amikor az eredményhirdetéskor РвĪгtОsФцnt ünnОpОХtцФ ĪФОt itthon és a világban, hanem a megismerés élményével ajándékozva meg ĪФОt, s azzal, hogy megtanultak logikusan gondolkodni, keményen dolgozni és kételkedni. A magyar diákok Fizikai Diákolimpiákon elért sikerei mögött mindig ott volt egy vagy több odaadó tanár munkája. Remélem, hogy az Ī példájukon és diákjaik sikerein erĪre kapva kimozdulhatunk fizikaoktatásunk mai nem könnyű helyzetébĪl, és úgy a diákolimpiák mint a hétköznapok fizikaóráinak „vОrsОnвpпХвпjпn” újra és újra megálljuk helyünket.

PREFACE

Preface This book, one of honour to be gained by hard work and creativity, presents a history of, and the list of students winning at, the International Olympics of Physics. Launched in 1967 by Polish Professor Czeslaw Scislowski, this splendid initiative became known in Hungary as the International Student Olympics of Physics. The results of the noble competition involved throughout the years have been gathered and made into a book by Waldemar Gorzkowski and Ádám Tichy-Rács. On opening the book one encounters long lists of names and reminiscences. The names of those winning are of interest not only to those engaged in physics but also to compatriots who are proud of scientific achievements. In the natural sciences, it was undoubtedly physics that had dominated the 20th century, especially its first half. Testing human imagination, transforming our knowledge about our world, the achievements born in the first half of the 20th century have become part and parcel of our present thinking. Atoms, nuclei and their components, the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, the transistor, lasers – to mention only a few – have made the persons involved in those discoveries veritable heroes. Even though we have no survey data available, we can be certain that in those times the prestige of physics was exceptionally high. Some excellent teachers were busy pushing their highly gifted students to face the enormous intellectual challenges of this particular branch of science. Hungarian physicists have played an universally acknowledged role in the inception of modern physics, a feat due in large part to Eugene Wigner, Leo Szilard, Ede Teller and his colleagues. An equal part had been played in this, however, by the great teacher personalities of the 20th century. In regard to this book I only want to underline the activities of RОгsĪ Kunfalvy who, along with Rudolf Ortvay, had acquired much of his knowledge from the great Hungarian physicists listed above, and maintained a lively contact with those active in the frontline of modern physics even while working as a secondary school teacher. Professor Kunfalvy had also played an active role, in collaboration with his Polish and Czech colleagues, in establishing the International Olympics of Physics, a fact shown already by the second Olympics taking place in Budapest. Rather like Olympic medallists, the young people winning medals at this special kind of intellectual competition, the International Olympics of Physics, were also hailed as heroes

PREFACE

by the public. Leafing through this book as a Hungarian physicist and as President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, I am overwhelmed by a strange sensation. Those competing at the first International Olympics of Physics are all around 60. Many of them have become well-known figures of the аorХН’s science. The absolute winner of the first International Olympics of Physics, Sándor Szalay, the son of Professor Sándor Szalay, the founder of our Debrecen Research Institute of Physics, is better known nowadays as Alex Szalay, the world-famous physicist who is also a member of our Academy. But also included among the first ПОа вОars’ medallists are members of our Academy Pál Ormos, László Mihály as well as Szeged University Professor Péter Maróti – persons who have since all become authoritative personalities of research in physics. I attended the same classes at Szeged University with Ferenc Iglói, nowadays a Doctor of our Academy, whose problem-solving capacities we all admired, and who earned third place at the 1971 International Physics Olympiad in Sofia. Even as I leave my own generation as represented on those lists, I recognise many other, younger physicists well-known to me as university professors, recognised researchers, Doctors of our Academy. From among those who are still younger, I know quite a few whom I have met as promising talents, or whom I have even taught at Debrecen Universitry. On the grounds of those personal acquaintances I am driven to acknowledge what an excellent tool of inspiring talent the International Olympics of Physics really is. Probably because the recognition it provides is strictly in proportion with the intellectual effort it requires. Those winning a medal can not only enjoy the moments of victory but also the experience of new knowledge gained, an experience based on logical thinking, hard work, and the ability to doubt. Behind the victories of Hungarian students at the International Olympics of Physics we could always detect the self-sacrificing work of one or several teachers. I sincerely hope that the examples set by those teachers and their successful pupils will inspire us all to overcome the present difficult situation of our physics education – helping us all in achieving better results not just at the forthcoming rounds of the International Olympics of Physics but also at our physics classes taking place each day of the week.

PREFACE

Foreword of the absolute winner of the first IPhO

The International Physics Olympiad

When I participated in the first Physics Olympiad in 1967, I hardly knew what physics was beyond the thrill of the first hand experience of seeing how pieces of interesting puzzles fit together. But even then solving these problems represented a quest, seeking answers to challenging problems, within the scope of our tools at the age of 18. There was quite a long road leading to the Olympics, solving countless problems, not because of the Olympics (after all when I was in high school it did not even exist) but just for the thrill of the challenge. Along the road we met our like-minded fanatics, who shared our interest in understanding the physical world. We slowly understood that we are not alone and unique with our interests, there are other kids like us who are keen to think for hours or days about the solution of a hard problem. We learned that there are others beyond our school, beyond our hometown, in other cities and other countries who think like us. We learned that physics transcends boundaries. We also learned that there are other smart people and our common interests can form a special bond. During the preparation we met generations ahead of us, people who were already at the University, either as students, or already on the faculty, who volunteered their time to take us farther along the journey. Their shared the secrets of physics beyond the high school level with us. And by solving math or physics problems with a well-defined solution, we learned that even in societies where politics often intertwined academia, there can be an absolute truth, and you can either solve a problem or not. As I read the manuscript of this book, and looked at the list of names, I was amazed how many of these are familiar from conferences and papers. I felt a thrill, how many of the physicists I know have been winners of the Physics Olympiad, from Canada, Russia, the US, and of course my native Hungary. It is clear, from a distance of 43 years that this was a true life-forming experience. The spirit of the International Physics Olympics makes it also very clear, how truly international physics is.

PREFACE

But looking through this book made me think – not what the Physics Olympics did for the participants, but of the people who dedicated a large fraction of their lives in training us. They have spent years of their lives in training the next teams, year after year. They could have written many scientific papers had they chosen that path. When we assess how important different contributions to the world of physics are, the people who coached our teams have had an impact and influence that is rarely thanked or recognized. I would like to use this foreword to thank their countless hours and dedication – and dedicate this book to tСОЦ… Baltimore, June 18, 2010 Alexander Sandor Szalay

PREFACE

Foreword of the author In the 5th International Physics Olympiad in 1971, there were just thirty three participants from seven teams. That time we hardly spoke foreign languages and could not make acquaintances with members of other teams. Anyhow, that event had major impression in us and great effect on our lives. One year ago I decided to organize an alumni meeting of the 5th IPhO on the 40th anniversary and then I started searching my fellow contestants. I could quickly find my Hungarian team mates, because I knew their names exactly, although not all of them are easily traceable in the net. Then I could find some ex-Soviet and ex-Czechoslovak competitors. Later on I contacted the IPhO Secretariat, and I got a copy of the relevant pages from Professor Waldemar żorгФoаsФв’s book “TСО Winners of 1st-30th International Physics OХвЦpТaН”. It is an excellent and very important compilation, but I had to realize its shortcomings that needed revision very much. The original work was compiled from handwritten notes taken by different persons, sometimes in Russian, in Bulgarian or in Serbian that is in Cyrillic and in modified Cyrillic scripts. The compiler obviously had no experience in transcription foreign names, and did not have internet access that time to make correction. So my name became “AНaХО TТМСв” from “ÁНпЦ Tichy-RпМs” through “ ” misread as “

”, that is quite simple in Cyrillic handwriting. Similarly, most

of non-Polish names were mistyped in that work. Moreover, in some cases the teams of some participants were wrong. From some IPhOs the lists did not contain given names but initials. The sequence of surnames and given names changed randomly from IPhO to IPhO. (The latter still needs corrections.) The original work also needed extension with the results of the last ten events. The revision and extension took nearly a year, spending hundreds of hours surfing the net and searching different databases, sending 320 e-mails, receiving 160 e-mails, finding tens of new friends who helped me. I suppose, this new version of the compilation is still far from being perfect. This volume is simply the 2010 version of the collected information. It begins with general data on IPhOs, its Secretariat, the list of team leaders, the Statute of IPhO, the short history and short life stories of four pioneers of IPhO movement. The voХuЦО’s major part is 

Working with the lists I had to realize that there were severeal former winners among the team leaders in 2009.

PREFACE

simply printed form of a database, of course. (The database version will be also available, soon.) The data are sorted by IPhOs in the first set of lists and they are sorted first by countries and then IPhOs in the second one. There is a special selection of the absolute winners, another chapter shows participants who won awards in four consecutive IPhOs and the next one with data of three times awarded competitors. Then the data in the lists are summarized in some statistical tables. The volume ends with the webography and bibliography of IPhOs. The literature is not complete, but hopefully it will help further research. For this reason it contains not just IPhO related web pages in different countries but also translations of the expression “IntОrnatТonaХ Physics OХвЦpТaН” in several languages. The appendix contains the copies of two documents from the 5th IPhO. According to my hopes this book will be a starting point of several further activities. I intend to revise it again with the help of team leaders and with librarians of different countries. In the next stage, as a part of the next revision, I intend to collect the partТМТpants’ names both in their original script and in English transcription. Then I intend to make followup studies with life stories of IPhO participants – there are several world leading scientists among them. I still hope that I will be able to convene alumni meetings, including alumni IPhOs using the same test problems that the actual young competitors receive. My really long term goal is to organize an IPhO alumni network that can help young talents in the beginning of their careers. All reader is invited to make her/his comment or contribution in order to improve this compilation. Comments will be received at [email protected] with subject International Physics Olympiad.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

Statutes Statutes of the International Physics Olympiads Version accepted in 1999 in Padova (Italy) Changes: 2000 – Leicester (Great Britain) 2001 – Antalya (Turkey) 2002 - Bali (Indonesia) 2004 - Pohang (Korea) 2006 - Singapore 2008 - Hanoi (Vietnam) §1 In recognition of the growing significance of physics in all fields of science and technology, and in the general education of young people, and with the aim of enhancing the development of international contacts in the field of school education in physics, an annual physics competition has been organised for secondary school students. The competition is called the International Physics Olympiad and is a competition between individuals. §2 The competition is organised by the Ministry of Education, the Physical Society or another appropriate institution of one of the participating countries on whose territory the competition is to be conducted. The organising country is obliged to ensure equal participation of all the delegations, and to invite teams from all those countries that participated during the last three years. Additionally, it has the right to invite other countries. The list of such new countries must be presented to Secretariat of the IPhOs (# 8) at least six months prior to the competition. Within two months the Secretariat has the right to remove, after consultations with the Advisory Committee (# 8), from the suggested list the teams that in opinion of Secretariat or Advisory Committee do not meet the criteria of participation in the IPhOs. The new countries not accepted by the Secretariat or Advisory Committee may, however, participate as "guest teams" but such participation does not create any commitments with respect to inviting these countries to the next competition(s). No country may have its team excluded from participation on any political reasons resulting from political tensions, lack of diplomatic relations, lack of recognition of some country by the government of the organising country, imposed embargoes and similar reasons. When difficulties preclude formal invitation of the team representing a country students from such a country should be invited to participate as individuals. The competition is conducted in the friendly atmosphere designed to promote future collaborations and to encourage the formation of friendship in the scientific community. Therefore all possible political tensions between the participants should not be reflected in any activity during the competition. Any political activity directed against any individuals or countries is strictly prohibited. §3 Each participating country shall send a delegation, normally consisting of five students (contestants) and two accompanying persons (delegation leaders) at most.

28

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

The contestants shall be students of general or technical secondary schools i.e. schools which cannot be considered technical colleges. Students who have finished their school examinations in the year of the competition can be members of the team as long as they have not commenced their university studies. The age of the contestants should not exceed twenty years on June 30th of the year of the competition. The delegation leaders must be specialists in physics or physics teachers, capable of solving the problems of the competition competently. Each of them should be able to speak English. §4 The Organisers of the Olympiad determine in accordance to the programme the day of arrival and the day of departure as well as the place in their country from which the delegations are supposed to arrive and depart. The costs for each delegation as a result of activities connected to the Olympiad from the day of arrival till the day of departure are covered by the Organising Committee. §5 The competition shall be conducted over two days, one for the theoretical examination and one for the experimental examination. There will be at least one full day of rest between the examinations. The theoretical examination shall consist of three theoretical problems and shall be of five hours total duration. The experimental examination shall consist of one or two problems and shall be of five hours total duration. Contestants may bring into the examination drawing instruments and non-programmable pocket calculators. No other aids may be brought into the examination. The theoretical problems should involve at least four areas of physics taught at secondary school level, (see Syllabus). Secondary school students should be able to solve the competition problems with standard high school mathematics and without extensive numerical calculation. The competition tasks are chosen and prepared by the host country and have to be accepted by the International Board (§ 7). The host country has to prepare at least one spare problem, which will be presented to the International Board if one of the first three theoretical problems is rejected by two thirds of members of the International Board. The rejected problem cannot be considered again. §6 The total number of marks awarded for the theoretical examination shall be 30 and for the experimental examination 20. The competition organiser shall determine how the marks are allocated within the examinations. After preliminary grading (prior to discussion of the grading with the delegation leaders) the organizers establish minima (expressed in points) for Gold Medals, Silver Medals, Bronze Medals and Honourable Mentions according to the following rules:

29

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

a) Gold Medals should be awarded to 8% of the contestants (rounded up the nearest integer). b) Gold or Silver Medals should be awarded to 25% of the contestants (rounded up the nearest integer). c) Gold, Silver or Bronze Medals should be awarded to 50% of the contestants (rounded up the nearest integer). d) An Olympic Medal or Honourable Mention should be awarded to 67% of the contestants (rounded up the nearest integer). The minima corresponding to the above percentages should be expressed without rounding. The suggested minima shall be considered carried if one half or more of the number of the Members of the International Board cast their vote in the affirmative. Results of those candidates who only receive a certificate of participation should strictly remain to the knowledge of the Members of the International Board and persons allowed to attend its meetings. §7 The governing body of the IPhO is the International Board, which consists of the delegation leaders from each country attending the IPhO. The chairman of the International Board shall be a representative of the organising country when tasks, solutions and evaluation guidelines are discussed and the President of the IPhO in all other topics. A proposal placed to the International Board, except Statutes, Regulations and Syllabus (see § 10), shall be considered carried if more than 50% of all delegation leaders present at the meeting vote in the affirmative. Each delegation leader is entitled to one vote. In the case of equal number of votes for and against, the chairman has the casting vote. The quorum for a meeting of the International Board shall be one half of those eligible to vote. The International Board has the following responsibilities: a) to direct the competition and supervise that it is conducted according to the regulations; b) to ascertain, after the arrival of the competing teams, that all their members meet the requirements of the competition in all aspects. The Board will disqualify those contestants who do not meet the stipulated conditions; c) to discuss the Organisers' choice of tasks, their solutions and the suggested evaluation guidelines before each part of the competition. The Board is authorised to change or reject suggested tasks but not to propose new ones. Changes may not affect experimental equipment. There will be a final decision on the formulation of tasks and on the evaluation guidelines. The participants in the meeting of the International Board are bound to preserve secrecy concerning the tasks and to be of no assistance to any of the participants; d) to ensure correct and just classification of the students. All grading has to be accepted by the International Board; 30

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

International Physics Olympiads (IPhO): their history, structure and future This document has been written by Prof. Waldemar Gorzkowski, President of the International Physics Olympiads, and has been taken from: "International Physics Competitions: International Physics Olympiads and First Step to Nobel Prize in Physics", ed. by Waldemar Gorzkowski, Warszawa 1999. 1. Short history of International Physics Olympiads The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is an international physics competition for secondary school students. The first such competition was organised by Prof. Czesław cisłowski in Warsaw (Poland) in 1967. Since that time the International Physics Olympiads have been organised, with few exceptions that will be discussed later, in a different country every year. The possibility of organising the International Physics Olympiads was suggested before 1967. It was clear that the International Physics Olympiads should be an annual event like the International Mathematics Olympiad, which was already in existence; organised in 1959. The success of the International Mathematics Olympiads, and the positive experience gained from its organisation, greatly stimulated physicists involved in physics education and interested in comparison of knowledge of the best students from different countries. The hard work and dedication of three Professors deserves particular praise: Czesław cisłowski from Poland, Rostislav Košťál from Czechoslovakia and Rezső Kunfalvi from Hungary. Each of them investigated various possibilities of organising the first International Physics Olympiad in his country. It was concluded that Poland offered the best conditions and the most favourable atmosphere for such an event. This, together with a great personal contribution by Prof. Czesław cisłowski, resulted in the first international physics competition that took place in Warsaw in 1967. One should underline here an essential difference between the International Mathematics Olympiads and the International Physics Olympiads. At the International Physics Olympiads the participants solve not only theoretical problems but also the experimental problems. For this reason the organisation of the competition in physics is more complicated and more expensive. Several months before the first IPhO took place, invitations were sent to all the Central European countries. The invitations were accepted by Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania (five countries including Poland, the organiser of the competition). Each team consisted of three secondary school students accompanied by one supervisor. The competition was arranged along the lines of the final stage of the Polish Physics Olympiad: one day for theoretical problems and one day for carrying out an experiment. One obvious difference was that the participants had to wait for the scripts to be marked. During the waiting period the organisers arranged two excursions by plane to Kraków and to żНańsФ. At the first IPhO the students had to solve four theoretical problems and one experimental problem. The second Olympiad was organised by Prof. RezsĪ Kunfalvi in Budapest, Hungary, in 1968. Eight countries took part in that competition – The German Democratic Republic, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia joined the participating countries. Again, each country was represented by three secondary school students and one supervisor. Some time before the second IPhO a preliminary version of the Statutes and the Syllabus were produced. Later these documents 41

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

were officially accepted by the International Board consisting of the supervisors of the teams that participated in the competition. This took place during a special meeting organised in Brno, Czechoslovakia, several months after the second IPhO. It is proper to underline that, in spite of various changes to be made later, all the basic features of the first Statutes remain valid to this day. The third IPhO was arranged by Prof. Rostislav Košťál in Brno, Czechoslovakia, in 1969. On that occasion each team consisted of five students and two supervisors. The competition in Brno was organised according to the official Statutes accepted earlier. The next Olympiad took place in Moscow, Soviet Union, in 1970. Each country was represented by six students and two supervisors. During that Olympiad several small changes were introduced into the Statutes. Since the fifth IPhO, held in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1971, each team has consisted of five pupils and two supervisors. The sixth IPhO was held in Bucharest, Romania, in 1972. It was an important event because among the participants there were present for the first time, the first non-European country (Cuba) and the first Western country (France). At this Olympiad the International Board decided to introduce several changes into the Statutes (however, no written proposal of the changes was produced). Unfortunately, in 1973 there was no Olympiad as no country was willing to organise it, although the number of participating countries exceeded the number of the past Olympiads. When it seemed likely that the International Physics Olympiads would die, Poland took the initiative of reviving the international competition and organised the seventh IPhO in Warsaw in 1974 (for the second time). On this occasion the Federal Republic of Germany was invited to attend the competition for the first time. This fact certainly had a symbolic significance. Before the competition, the Organising Committee introduced into the Statutes the verbal changes discussed and accepted in Bucharest. The new version of the Statutes was sent to all the countries invited to the competition for acceptance or comments. The wording suggested by the Organising Committee was accepted (with only one voice against). The most important changes were as follows: a) the number of theoretical problems was reduced from four to three b) the number of working languages (previously Russian, English, German and French was reduced to two, English and Russian c) there should be one rest day between the two examination days d) the criteria for prizes should be expressed in percentages with respect to the highest score received in a given competition (formerly range of mark for prizes had been determined with respect to the highest theoretically possible score). In 1975, 1976 and 1977 the International Physics Olympiads took place in the German Democratic Republic for the first time, Hungary, for the second time, and Czechoslovakia, for the second time, respectively. In spring 1977 in Ulan-Bator, Mongolia, there was a Conference of the Ministers of Education of the, so called, Socialist Countries. The Conference decided that the socialist countries would organise the International Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics Olympiads 42

every two years. Some people treated this decision as a political one, aiming to reduce contacts between pupils from East and West. This aspect should not be ignored, but certainly the decision was a consequence of the increasing number of participating countries and rapidly increasing organisational costs. Regardless of real reasons, according to common interpretation the above decision was commonly interpreted as an implicit invitation to other countries to take charge of the international scientific Olympiads. This explains why in 1978 and in 1980 there were no Olympiads; no non-socialist country was ready to organise the competition without a prior, necessary long-time preparation effort. The first IPhO organised by non-socialist country was the XIII IPhO that took place in Malente, FRG, in 1982. It was due to very efficient work done by Dr. Gunter Lind. Then, for the first time, the participants solved, under agreement of the International Board, two experimental problems in place of one, previously set. In 1983 the IPhO was organised, for the second time, in Bucharest, Romania. Here the number of problems prepared by the organisers for the pupils much exceeded the number of problems mentioned in the Statutes, and the International Board spent a lot of time discussing the Statutes and the Syllabus and the future of the Olympiads. As regards the future of the International Physics Olympiads, there was only one important decision made in Bucharest. It was decided that the next competition would take place in Sweden in 1984. Unfortunately, there were no volunteers to organise the Olympiads in 1985, 1986 and 1987. In such a situation, upon suggestion of Dr. Gunter Lind (FRG), the International Board decided to establish a permanent Secretariat (consisting of one person: Dr. Waldemar Gorzkowski) for co-ordination of the long term work of the International Physics Olympiads and for popularising the Olympiads. At the same time it was decided that the Secretariat together with Prof. Lars Silverberg (Sweden), the organiser of the next competition in Sigtuna, Sweden, in 1984, should prepare a new version of the Statutes. The project of revising the Statutes was completed and the new Statutes were accepted at the ninth IPhO. There are, in fact, only minor differences between the old and new versions. The most essential difference is that the new version legalised the existence of the Secretariat of the International Physics Olympiad, consisting of two persons (in terminology used recently: President and Secretary - Dr. Waldemar Gorzkowski and Dr. Andrzej Kotlicki1). Another change instituted was that at the experimental part of the competition the participants could be set one or two experimental tasks, earlier only one was allowed. One can say that the new version differed from the old one primarily in wording. The new version was much more precise. The delegation heads, consisting of two persons from each participating country, form the, so called, International Board, which is the highest authority of the International Physics Olympiads. The International Board does not change significantly from year to year. The majority of members know each other very well. In the International Board there is a very pleasant, friendly atmosphere. Thanks to this attitude, and good will, many difficult problems can be solved without great effort. This is why the Secretariat was able, for instance, to solve the problem of organisation of the International Physics Olympiads in 1985, 1986 and 1987. In 1985 the International Physics Olympiad took place in Portorož (Yugoslavia), in 1986 - in London-Harrow (Great Britain) and in 1987 - in Jena (GDR).

Dr. Andrzej Kotlicki (Poland - Canada) after three five вОars’ terms (1984 - 1999) has resigned from his function. In 1999 Dr. Maija Ahtee (Finland) has been elected as the Secretary. 1

Here we would like to emphasise that the United Kingdom organised the XVII IPhO in London-Harrow within only two years from its entry into the competition! It was made possible through hard work and great enthusiasm of Dr. Cyril Isenberg, Dr. Guy Bagnall and Mr. William Jarvis. Due to joint efforts of the Secretariat and the organisers of the competitions in 1985 (Prof. Anton Moljk and Dr. Bojan Golli) and in 1986 (Dr. Guy Bagnall and Dr. Cyril Isenberg) a new version of the Syllabus was produced. Its theoretical part was accepted in Portorož in 1985 and first applied in London-Harrow in 1986. Later, following a suggestion of the International Board, the Secretariat prepared a new, so called, column version of the Syllabus. This version shows not only the breadth of the physics contents but also the depth of approach required. The Syllabus of the International Physics Olympiads is indeed very modern. Nevertheless, the International Board is always ready to introduce improvements in the Statutes and Syllabus and does this when necessary. The competition has run every year subsequently - the list of participating and organising countries is shown in Tables 1 and 2. Following suggestion of Dr. Rodney Jory (Australia) in 1996 the International Board has decided to create an Advisory Committee convened at the President. At present the Advisory Committee consists of 14 persons with great experience in the “OХвЦpТaН аorФ”. Every year some changes in the Statutes are made. Usually they are minor changes. Nevertheless, sometimes the changes are major. The last such change was made in 1999. The Statutes have been split into two parts; proper Statutes, and Regulations. Changes in the part called “StatutОs” require qualified majority when voting, while changes in the part called “RОРuХatТons” require a simple majority only. In this way the most important points of the “OХвЦpТaН Хaа” have been separated from the points which are of less importance. The operation of splitting the Statutes was the most important change since 1984 and was taken with care. The idea of splitting, formulated by Dr. Rodney Jory (Australia) in 1997, after preliminary discussion (almost only by e-mail) in 1997/8 was accepted by the International Board in 1998 in Reykjavik, Iceland. Then a subcommission consisting of four persons was created: Dr. Gunter Lind, Dr. Cyril Isenberg, Dr. Vidar Agustsson and Dr. Waldemar Gorzkowski. The subcommission prepared, mainly due to work of Dr. Gunter Lind, a version of the split Statutes, which later was discussed at a special meeting of the Advisory Committee in Warsaw in March 1999. After that the version accepted by the Advisory Committee was accepted by the International Board at the thirtieth IPhO in Padova, Italy. The last versions of the Statutes, Regulations, Syllabus and other Olympiad documents are available from the homepage of IPhOs. Here we would like to highlight the efficient functioning of the Secretariat due to not only to personal efforts of its members but also to the assistance of the members of the International Board. It is proper to mention here the help of Dr. Gunter Lind (FRG), Prof. Helmuth Mayr (Austria), Prof. Lars Silverberg (Sweden), Prof. Lars Gislen (Sweden), Mr. Nicola Velchev (Bulgaria), Dr. Hans Jordens (The Netherlands), Dr. Dwight Neuenschwander (USA), and others. 2. Structure of the competition The competition lasts for two days. One day is devoted to theoretical problems (three problems involving at least four areas of physics taught in secondary schools). Another day is

44

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

devoted to experimental problems (one or two problems). These two days are separated by at least one day of rest. On both occasions the time allotted for solving the problems is five hours. Each team consists of students from general or technical secondary schools (not colleges or universities). Typically each team consists of five students (pupils) and two supervisors. The latter form the International Board. It would make no sense to repeat here the description of the competition as it may be found in the Statutes of the International Physics Olympiads. We would like to underline several important features: 1. The problems are given to the pupils in their national languages and the pupils solve the problems in their mother tongues; IPhO is a competition in physics, not in foreign languages. 2. The marks awarded by the organisers are compared with the marks awarded by the delegation heads, and discussed by the organisers and delegation heads until an agreed mark has been reached. In this way justice of classification is ensured. 3. According to the present version of the Statutes the winners are classified into categories according to the following rules: The mean value of points accumulated by the three best participants is considered normalised to 100%. The contestants who obtain more than 90% of the above mentioned mean value receive first prizes. The contestants who obtain between 78% and 90% receive second prizes. The contestants who obtain between 65% and 78% receive third prizes. The contestants who obtained between 50% and 65% receive commendations called honourable mentions. All other participants receive certificates of participation. The participant with the highest score (Absolute Winner) receives an additional prize. Some special prizes can also be awarded. We would like to emphasize that the number of prizes in each category is not limited. Due to that, changes of some scores might occur as a result of discussion between the heads of the delegations and the markers, resulting in a "shift" of some participants from, for example, the group of second prize winners to the group of first prize winners. However, these changes won't affect the category of the prize of any other participants. Thus, the delegation leaders representing different countries do not compete against each other. This is a very important point. You may ask: what about a team classification? The answer is very simple: such a classification does not exist. The IPhO is a competition between individuals only. There is no team result. Nevertheless, some people try to establish a kind of unofficial team classification. Some of them take a direct sum of scores as the result of the team. Some of them take the sum of scores of the three best participants in each team. Some of them take, for each team, the three best results in each problem independently and so on, and so on. Of course, the final table depends on the method of calculating the team results, and probably one can always find some strange system of counting the team results that will show a team to be the best or one of the best ones. Non-existence of team classification is important. We do not wish to introduce rivalry between nations. The financial principles of the organisation of the competition are the following:  the country which sends the team pays for the return travel costs (to and from the place of the competition) of the pupils and the accompanying persons; 45

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

 from the moment of arrival until the moment of departure all the costs are covered by the organising country. In particular, this concerns the costs of local travels, lodging, excursions, awards, etc. Recently the International Board considered several times different proposals aiming to introduce certain participation fee. Taking into account different financial possibilities of different countries, in 1997 a voluntary fee was introduced. It seems, however, that in the future the voluntary fee will be converted into an obligatory fee. The number of participating countries is, however, continually increasing. In 1999 62 countries were present (Table 1). Every year new countries join the competition and organisation of the competition becomes more and more expensive. Moreover, it is more and more difficult to organise the experimental part of the competition so that all the students have the same experimental conditions of work. We can ask: what will be the maximum number of countries? How long can the number of participating countries increase without any changes (assuming the same structure of the competition)? Should we start thinking about "Olympiad Villages"? Until now the organisers were always able to solve all the organisational problems related to the increasing number of participants. Some time ago I was sure that the maximum number of countries present at a given Olympiad would not exceed sixty. But in the meantime certain political processes took place, such as the break up of the Soviet Union, the break up of Yugoslavia, etc. In consequence of them many new countries were created. Most of them are interested in participation in the IPhO. Now it seems that the number of countries really interested in the IPhO shall not exceed eighty or ninety. Eighty countries with five students from each country, comes to 400 experimental stands. This is a very great number. Some countries, however, are able to provide such a number of identical experimental stands. Other countries can organise the experimental problem in two groups. Can this number, i.e. 80-90, be reached? Theoretically, yes. But practically, probably not. The travel expenses (and possible participation fee that may be introduced in the future) can limit the number of participants. Many countries may not be able to send their teams to the competition every year for financial reasons. The number of participating countries will probably oscillate around eighty, depending on where the organising country is situated. This will not require "Olympiad Villages". Organisation of the IPhO is becoming increasingly very difficult. The difficulties are diverse. I am not going to describe all of them. Nevertheless, I would like to give one simple example: languages. The marking of the solutions (written in national languages) is performed by the Organising Committee which is responsible for correct translation. For the languages spoken by a number of countries, such as English, German, French or Spanish, there are no serious difficulties. Also there are no difficulties in the case of nations or countries with a great diaspora (e.g. Poland). But in the case of certain minority languages (e.g. Finnish, Icelandic, etc.) the organisers sometimes face great problems. Fortunately, all the possible mistakes made during the marking procedure can be corrected at the verification sessions with the delegation leaders, although sometimes this is time consuming. Nevertheless, the problem of languages seems to be very difficult and probably some changes in the Statutes will be necessary. In the context of the above mentioned "saturation" effects related to limited possibilities of the organisers (financial and technical) and limited possibilities of the participants (travel 46

expenses, possible participation fee in the future) it makes sense to consider an idea of regional physics Olympiads. This idea is not new. Some time ago the Balkan Physics Olympiad was created. It involved the, so called, Balkan countries in Europe. As far as I know at least three such Olympiads were conducted. In 1992 the first Iberoamerican Physics Olympiad was organised (in Colombia). It is a Physics Olympiad for countries speaking Spanish or Portuguese. Unfortunately, for other reasons (insufficient international cooperation, certain financial and organisational problems) the second such Olympiad was organised only in 1997 (in Mexico). Shortly before the Gulf War the Gulf Physics Olympiad (for the Arab countries situated at the Arab Gulf) was organised. As far as I know, until now four such Olympiads were conducted. It seems that the Asian region was the only region without such initiatives. I am absolutely sure that in the near future an Asian Physics Olympiad will be created. I am also sure that the educational role of such an Olympiad for this region will be extremely great as all such events strongly affect education. Additionally, this kind of peaceful co-operation creates better understanding between countries and between people, especially between young people who will decide about our prosperity in the future. 3. Degree of difficulty of the Olympiad problems The competition tasks of several initial International Physics Olympiads were not overly difficult. They were similar to more difficult school tasks. Later the difficulty of the competition tasks was increased. It is not easy to measure difficulty of the competition tasks. I know two approaches to this problem. First of them was made by Galina Seregeyevna Tarasyuk [1]. She defined a coefficient of difficulty k of the task as a quantity proportional to the ratio of the maximum possible score to the mean score gained by the participants. In a similar way she defined a degree of difficulty of a whole Olympiad. Her statistics involved ten first competitions. The quantity introduced by Galina Seregeyevna Tarasyuk seems to be quite good. It, however, cannot be applied to recent Olympiads since the International Board has decided that the results of the participants who have not received any prize or honourable mention cannot be presented publicly. In consequence the mean value of the scores gained by the participants is not known. The second approach is due to Barbara and Rudolf Gau [2]. They introduced another parameter A as a measure of the, so called, requirement level. The definition of this parameter is too sophisticated to quote it here. Nevertheless, it seems quite interesting to show how the parameter A changes in time - Fig. 1 shows the dependence of A for twenty first International Physics Olympiads. Note the rapid increase in the period 1986 - 1989. (Unfortunately, nobody investigated A for more recent competitions.)

47

Fig. 1. Requirement level A (vertical axis) vs. no. of the Olympiad (horizontal axis). One should realise that any way of measuring the "difficulty" of the Olympiads has only an approximate character. The best measure should involve such "parameters" as: formulation of the problem, length of the texts of the problems (sic! - some problems are unexpectedly long), possibilities of solving the problems in different ways, creativity of the problems, spectrum of knowledge tested by the problems, etc., etc. Each of these "parameters" in general is not well defined. Moreover, each of them should be taken with some weight, which is not well defined either. 4. Efficiency of participation of different countries in the competition As we have already mentioned, there is no official team classification - the Statutes of the Olympiads do not define any team results. Nevertheless, many countries participating in the International Physics Olympiads are interested in some measure of success of their teams over the years. Sometimes such a measure is necessary for them in order to estimate the efficiency of different forms of work. Of course, one may introduce different parameters describing "efficiency" of participation. Proper measure should involve difficulty of the competition problems, quality of grading, quality of translations, etc., etc. In general it is a very difficult problem. This is why we suggest (as a 0-th approximation) to use the parameter defined below the Table 3 [4]. The table contains the statistical data for thirty International Physics Olympiads organised until now (see also Table 4 and Table 5 ). Of course, in case of countries that participate infrequently in the competition, this parameter is not good for fluctuations. 5. Interpretation and role of results obtained at the competition The results of the competition are treated in different countries in different ways. In some countries, in some periods, they are or were treated as a kind of great national achievement: the participants pass a special, very intensive, training before the competition and later the winners receive great privileges. But it seems that such an approach is rather not typical. Most of countries treats the Olympiad as a kind of measuring instrument that measures the state of physics education. Of course, one success or lack of success has no special meaning. It may be a fluctuation. But successes or lack of successes for several years should be treated seriously. This is why the results of the competitions are analysed seriously. The same refers to the competition problems, the Syllabus, etc. In consequence of these analyses some countries improved their national syllabuses on physics by introducing new approaches (e.g. in thermodynamics), new topics (e.g. relativity, quantum physics), or by reducing some parts

48

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

of too traditional character (e.g. geometric optics). Such changes are an additional result of the International Physics Olympiads, additional with respect to the tables of the competition winners. Certainly in a long term scale this result is more important than the names of the winners, as any improvements in the physics education affect all the pupils. It is obvious that the existence of the International Physics Olympiads itself is a result of certain international co-operation. More important is a long term international co-operation between the members of the International Board. This kind of co-operation has existed since the very beginning, i.e. since the first IPhO. The members of the International Board exchange physics problems, books, journals, articles, they discuss their experience gained during organisation of the national physics competitions etc., etc. Due to such permanent, or semi-permanent, contacts and due to existence of the International Physics Olympiads some countries have organised national physics Olympiads or, at least, smaller scale competitions for selecting the teams to attend the international competition. Nearly all the participating countries in the IPhO provide special training for the participants. Of course, too intensive training may deform the results. (After a long and intensive training even an elephant may dance to the tune of the piper, but certainly that has nothing to do with the natural abilities of the elephant and one may suspect that the elephant would not be too happy at that!). In consequence of an extra intensive training the results may not reflect real abilities of the students. Also they do not reflect the true state of the physics education. One should say, however, that most of the countries approaches to the problem in a rational way. The training periods etc. in different countries is presented in Table 6. 6. Final remarks The impact of the International Physics Olympiads is continually growing. The role of the International Physics Olympiads is recognised also by such international organisations as UNESCO and the EPS (European Physical Society). The first contacts with UNESCO took place way back, in 1968, but more extensive cooperation began in 1984. In the period 1984 - 1991 UNESCO supported financially the publication of the proceedings of the of the subsequent Olympiads. The proceedings were distributed to all the countries-members of UNESCO. It gave us favourable publicity. In addition, UNESCO has published several books on the physics Olympiads in various languages. The help of UNESCO was very valuable, especially in propaganda. Unfortunately, its financial contribution to organising the competitions was negligible. One should realise, however, that the purposes of UNESCO and other international organisations are not identical with the purposes of the International Physics Olympiads (although often many points are common). For example, by forcibly increasing the number of participating countries one can cause very serious organisational problems. The organisers of the recent Olympiads encounter many difficulties of technical and financial character. To make the work of the organisers somewhat easier, in 1997 a voluntary fee paid by the participants was introduced. This fee covers part of the organisational expenses and is a good starting point for raising money from possible sponsors. In order to ensure smooth organisation, the increase in the number of participants in the International Physics Olympiad should be controlled. Otherwise organisation of the IPhO could collapse.

49

Like UNESCO, the EPS gives us very strong moral support as well as favourable publicity, and propagates our achievements among the countries-members of the EPS. It was the EPS that inspired us in preparation and publication of the booklet entitled Procedures for Selecting Teams to the International Physics Olympiads [3]. The booklet comprises a compilation of reports of different delegations and is very important and helpful for the countries wishing to join the competition. The booklet was prepared by the Secretariat together with Prof. Lars Silverberg and published by him privately in Lund (Sweden). In 1989 the EPS created an almost permanent special prize for the winner of the Olympiad for reaching the best equilibrium between the theoretical and experimental parts of the competition. 7.

The Medal

In 1992 the International Physics Olympiads were awarded with the ICPE Medal. We quote the text associated with the medal (the text was received from Prof. Anthony French): „TСТs medal was established in 1979 by the International Commission on Physics Education (I.C.P.E.), which is Commission C-14 of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (I.U.P.A.P.). The medal is awarded for outstanding contributions to physics education. The first recipient was Eric M. Rogers, in 1980. Subsequent recipients were Pyotr L. Kapitza in 1981, Jerrold R. Zacharias, in 1984, Victor F. Weiskopf in 1986 and John L. Lewis in 1988. In 1992 the medal was awarded to the International Physics Olympiad. with special recognition of Rotislav Kostial (Brno), Rudolf Kunfalvi (Budapest) and Czeslaw Scislowski (Warsaw). Professor Scislowski was the chief originator of the Physics Olympiads. He had extensive discussion and consultation with physicists from other countries (in particular with Professors Kostial and Kunfalvi), but it was primarily as a result of his efforts that the first Physics Olympiad was held in Poland in 1967 under the aegis of the Polish Physical Society. The medal is transferred each year to a representative of the host country for the following year. The medal was designed by the Hungarian artist Miklos Borsos. The design represents the interaction of human beings with forces of nature. It shows the four elements of the ancient Greeks - earth, air, fire and water - this last symbolized by a powerful ray of sunlight, like a sword. People are at first afraid of these forces, but then begin to make use of them - we see one person lighting a ПТrО.” A. P. French (Chairman, ICPE, 1975 - 1981) E. L.

Czesław Ścisłowski – in service of science Physicist, teacher, university professor. He was born in Mogielnica on 22-04-1904. His parents are Franciszek įcisłowski and Franciszka Podgórska. After the elementary school of Mogielnica he went to the Władysław Giļycki Grammar School in Warsaw. After two years at the Electrical Engineering Faculty of the Warsaw Technical University he continued his studies at the Mathematics and Science Faculty of the Warsaw University, where he graduated in 1930. In the next two years he worked for the Public Teachers Seminary in Polock as a teacher and supervisor in the internee. In 1934 he graduated as a teacher and started to teach at the Adam Mickiewicz Grammar School, then taught at the Stefan Batory Grammar School and Lyceum and at the Eliza Orzeszkowa Pedagogical Lyceum in Warsaw. In the late hours he continued his research under the supervision of Professor Stefan Pieńkowski at the Department of Experimental Physics of the Warsaw University. In the school year of 1938/1939 he was the teacher of the “CoХuЦbus РОnОratТon” at the Stefan Batory Grammar School and Lyceum, among his students there were Jacek Bytner ("Rudy") and Tadeusz Zawadzki ("Zoİka"), who became famous soldiers of the Warsaw Patriotic Army and of the Polish partisan movement. From 01-01-1940 to 01-02-1945 he worked at the elementary school of Komorów near Pruszków, as well as in the underground groups of the J. SłoаaМФТ Grammar School and Lyceum, of the Stefan Batory Grammar School and Lyceum, and of the T. Czacki Grammar School and Lyceum. From 01-02-1945 to 01-09-1947 he taught physics at the Stefan Batory Grammar School and Lyceum, and he was the vice director for one year there. He worked hard for restoration of the school building and reorganization of education. Meantime, he taught at the part time school for workers under ul. Polna 5. He was appointed to assistant lecturer to the Warsaw Technical University on 01-10-1947. He led the Physics Section of Further Education of Educational Experts in Wojewódzki District and also held lectures there. In 1952 he was appointed lecturer and two years later assistant professor at the Faculty of Engineering Technology. From 1953 to 1955 he taught physics as lecturer at the Military Academy of the General Staff of Polish Army named after Karol Swierczewski. He received PhD at the Faculty of Pedagogy of the Warsaw University in 1959. He worked actively till the end of his life. He did not want to retire. He combined education with organization of scientific activities. He did very much for the propagation of physics. He authored more than 70 papers, books, lecture notes and methodical publications. He wrote reports about the International Physics Olympiads, conferences in physics, brochures about the life of famous physicists and chemists. His 53

physics textbooks for 6th-8th scholar years were reprinted several times. His most famous paper is entitled “źnОrРв of physical pСОnoЦОna” (1969). He participated in methodical development of physics education. He was member of many scientific committees. From 1951 he organized 18 Physics Olympiads and in 1967 he organized the International Physics Olympiad in Warsaw with participation of Bulgarian, Czechoslovakian, Polish, Russian and Hungarian students. He contributed to increasing the role and level of physics competitions, to searching youths who are talented in physics and to the increase of the prestige of physics teachers. He was always in close contact with his hometown. As a student of АłaНвsłaа żТļвМФТ Grammar School he played at the Amateur Theatre of Mogielnica. He died in Warsaw on 12-08-1971. He was buried in the Bródnowski Cemetery. http://www.mogielnica.pl/index.php?dz=35 Rostislav Košťál from Czechoslovakia ROSTISLAV KOŠĳÁL (1905 – 1980)

Poté byl v roce 1950 pĮОХožОn do Bru‫ﻣ‬pОrФa a pověĮen budováním Fyzikálního ústavu na zde vznikající Vysoké ‫ﻣ‬ФoХО strojní. Po jejím pĮičlenění k Vysoké ‫ﻣ‬ФoХО báňské působil až do roku 1954 v Ostravě. Pak byl povolán zpět do Brna na Vysokou ‫ﻣ‬ФoХu stavební (existovala tehdy jako pozůstatek гru‫ﻣ‬Оnц techniky po vzniku Vojenské akademie A. Zápotockého v Brně). Po obnovení techniky v Brně v roce 1956 (pĮejmenované na Vysoké učení technické - VUT) zde nejprve vybudoval МОХo‫ﻣ‬ФoХsФou Katedru fyziky VUT a po jejím rozdělení v roce 1959 na tĮi katedry pĮО‫ﻣ‬ОХ jako Įadový člen na Katedru fyziky Fakulty elektrotechnické.

Profesorské působení na KatedĮe fyziky Fakulty elektrotechnické VUT mu bylo obnoveno k 1. Įíjnu 1965. Zde pak působil až do odchodu do důchodu v roce 1971. Posledním jeho působТ‫ﻣ‬těm byla Katedra fyziky Pedagogické fakulty v NitĮe, kde pĮОНnп‫ﻣ‬ОХ v akademickém roce 1977/78. ZemĮel po krátké nemoci 6. února 1980 v Brně. εanžОХФou prof. Ko‫ﻣ‬Ĵála byla Dagmar Ko‫ﻣ‬Ĵálová (1910 – 1977), stĮОНo‫ﻣ‬ФoХsФп profesorka fyziky a matematiky. Měli tĮi děti: Dagmar provdaná Rýznerová (1938 – 1999) vystudovala elektrotechnické ТnžОnýrstvъ, Rostislav (*1943) vystudoval stavební ТnžОnýrstvъ a je mj. pĮední český fotograf a Lubor (*1944) vystudoval elektrotechnické ТnžОnýrstvъ a působí jako stĮОНo‫ﻣ‬ФoХsФý profesor. Ve věНОМФц práci, která je zachycena ve 21 půvoНnъМС pracích, se prof. Ko‫ﻣ‬ĴпХ zabýval pĮОНОv‫ﻣ‬ъЦ netlumenými i tlumenými kmity spĮažОnýМС soustav a stabilizací ФЦТtů mechanických osМТХпtorů (11 prací), skládáním a analýzou ФЦТtů (6 prací). Tento věНОМФý zájem jej pĮТvОНХ také k hudební akustice (3 práce). Zabýval se rovněž základními vОХТčТnaЦТ dynamiky: hmotností tíhovou, sОtrvačnou a silou (1 práce). Významná je i jeho čТnnost biografická a historická (6 prací). Rozsáhlá je zejména jeho tvorba vвsoФo‫ﻣ‬ФoХsФýМС učОbnъМС tОбtů (37 svaгФů skript) a studijních tОбtů pro Fyzikální olympiádu (11 prací).

K nejvýznamněj‫ﻣ‬ъЦ zásluhám prof. Ko‫ﻣ‬Ĵála, které mají světový rozměr, patĮí, žО v roce 1959 rozhodujícím způsobem pĮispěl k гaХožОnъ soutěžО Fyzikální olympiáda (FO) v Československu a v roce 1966 ke vzniku Mezinárodní fyzikální olympiády (MFO). Rozvoji FO a MFO se poté intenzivně věnoval až do konce žТvota. Fyzikální olympiádu zakládal nejen jako vrcholovou soutěž stĮОНo‫ﻣ‬ФoХпФů, ale jako proЦв‫ﻣ‬ХОný systém, který si klade za cíl vyhledávat a pěstovat talenty na fyziku jТž od 13. – 14. roku věku dítěte. εв‫ﻣ‬ХОnФou FO se začal zabývat jТž od roku 1954 (jistým vzorem mu byla jТž tehdy probíhající Matematická olympiáda), zpočátku v‫ﻣ‬aФ nОna‫ﻣ‬ОХ dost potĮebných spolupracovníků a tak první pokusné soutěžО FO probíhaly až roce 1958 pro tОСНОj‫ﻣ‬ъ kraje Olomoucký a Brněnský.

kdy se projevilo jisté politické uvolnění (tuto funkci pak nepĮОtržТtě vykonával až do roku 1977 a poté až do smrti pracoval jako pĮedseda KV FO Jihomoravského kraje). Hned jak mu byla svěĮena nОjvв‫ﻣﻣ‬ъ funkce v FO rozhodl se гaХožТt Mezinárodní fyzikální olympiádu. Oslovil prof. dr. Czeslawa įcislowského ve Var‫ﻣ‬avě a prof. dr. Rezsö Kunfálviho v BuНapО‫ﻣ‬tТ a společně pĮipravili konání první MFO ve Var‫ﻣ‬avě v roce 1967 za účasti pěti východoevropských států, druhá MFO se konala v r. 1968 v BuНapО‫ﻣ‬tТ. TĮetí MFO v politicky sХožТtцЦ roce 1969 organizoval prof. Ko‫ﻣ‬Ĵál v Brně. Desátá MFO v roce 1977 se konala opět v Československu - v Hradci Králové. Brzo se k východoevropským zemím pĮipojily i státy západní – Francie (1972), Spolková republika Německo (1974), ŠvцНsФo (1976), Finsko atd. Dnes se této prОstТžnъ mezinárodní soutěžО zúčastňují ĮО‫ﻣ‬ТtОХц ze v‫ﻣ‬ОМС pěti kontinentů světa (napĮ. 33. MFO v Indonésii v roce 2002 se zúčastnilo 298 studentů ze 67 zemí, na 35. MFO v Korejské republice v roce 2004 soutěžТХo jТž 332 ĮО‫ﻣ‬ТtОХů z 71 zemí). Na‫ﻣ‬Т studenti se ve světové konkurenci vžНв umísĴují v první čtvrtině poĮadí zúčastněných zemí. Za prvních dvanáct let existence České republiky, tj. od roku 1993, se Mezinárodních fyzikálních olympiád zúčastnilo celkem 60 českých studentů, z nТМСž 5 získalo zlatou medailí, 10 stĮíbrnou medaili, 20 bronzovou medaili a 19 soutěžъМъМС dostalo čestné uznání. Úspě‫ﻣ‬nost členů českého Нružstva na MFO se tak dá vyčíslit jako 90% a je tedy vynikající. Je to díky tradici systematické pĮípravy talentů гaХožОnц jТž prof. Ko‫ﻣ‬Ĵálem. Světové společenství fyziků (Mezinárodní unie pro čistou a aplikovanou fyziku) ocenilo jeho podíl na vzniku MFO udělením velké medaile u pĮъХОžТtostТ 24. MFO konané v roce 1993 ve Williamsburgu v USA - Virginii (boСužОХ in memoriam). Prof. Ko‫ﻣ‬Ĵál by měl jistě velkou radost, kdyby na začátku těžФýМС normalizačních sedmdesátých let tu‫ﻣ‬ТХ jakého světového rozmachu Fyzikální olympiáda dosáhne a jakou prОstТžъ bude pro země (zejména asijské) MFO v pĮъsХu‫ﻣ‬nцЦ roce poĮádat. Byl by také pĮekvapen a potě‫ﻣ‬Оn jak pěkné, náročné a vědecky aktuální úlohy univerzity poĮádajících zemí studentům pĮipravují k ĮО‫ﻣ‬Оnъ1. Také by jej jistě tě‫ﻣ‬ТХo, žО Fyzikální olympiáda se i u nás stává společensky uznávanou aktivitou.

Rezső Kunfalvi from Hungary http://www.kfki.hu/fszemle/archivum/fsz9807/marx.html RОгsĪ Kunfalvi  (Cegléd, 1905. augusztus 20. – Budapest, 1998. július 1.) Tisztelgés Kunfalvi Rezső tanár úr emléke előtt Kunfalvi RОгsĪ szerencsés és boldog ember volt. Akkor született, amikor a relativitáselmélet. Átélte ezt a fizikusszemmel csodálatos 20. századot, nem mint passzív sгОЦХцХĪ, hanem mint aktív sгОrОpХĪ, aki maga is irányítja az eseményeket. A modern fizika 70 évvel ОгОХĪtt érkezett meg hazánkba a frissen kinevezett Ortvay Rudolf tanszékére, és itt Kunfalvi RОгsĪ is jelen volt. Az ОХsĪ években Ī szervezte-adminisztrálta az Ortvay Kollokviumokat, amelyeken egy ország tanulta meg a modern fizikát. Így személyesen ismerte Bródy Imrét, Lánczos Kornélt, Neumann Jánost, Teller Edét, Tisza Lászlót, Wigner JОnĪt. TĪХüФ, mint legautentikusabbaktól hallotta a kvantumelmélet kibontakozását. Amikor a harmincas években a Villányi-útra, a Cisztercita Gimnáziumba került, nem szakadt meg kapcsolata az цХĪ-ПОjХĪНĪ fizikával. Jelen volt Eddington, Heisenberg, Sommerfeld pesti társulati ОХĪaНпsaТn. A gimnáziumi tanárokat rendszeresen elvitte a Csillagvizsgálóba. Azok a József Attilás diákok, aФТФbĪХ munkatársaim lettek, mint például Györgyi Géza, csillogó szemekkel meséltek Kunfalvi tanár úr óráiról. Azok közé a legendás magyar tanár-egyéniségek közé tartozott, mint Mikola Sándor, Novobátzky Károly és Vermes Miklós, akiket úgy irigyel tĪХünФ a külföld. Közben járta a természetet, Eötvös nyomában megmászta az Alpokat és megismerte a fizika csúcsait is. Fényképeire és agyába rögzítette élményeit. A modern fizika evolúcióját hitelesen bemutató írásai a Fizikai Szemle gyöngyszemei. Hevesy żвѓrРвrĪХ festett portréját mindmáig senki nem szárnyalta túl. A 2. világháború viharai után panaszkodni lehetett, de tenni kellett. ĩ vívta ki, hogy a Középiskolai Matematikai Lapokban megint induljon fizikarovat, amit Ī szerkesztett. Amikor Állam Apuka visszavonult, vele beszéltem meg, hogy az Eötvös Társulat elvállalja a lap kiadásának munkáját és anyagi ПОХОХĪssцРцt. Így lett és van ma is Középiskolai Matematikai és Fizikai Lapok. RОгsĪ bácsi legnagyobb kisugárzású tette az volt, hogy a hatvanas években lengyel és cseh kollégákkal együtt létrehívta a Nemzetközi Fizikai Diákolimpiát. Varsó után a második olimpiát Ī szervezte meg Budapesten. Nem mi, hanem külföldi (kínai) vОгОtĪФ ismerték el, hogy a Nemzetközi Fizikai Diákolimpia az évszázados Eötvös VОrsОnвbĪХ 

bontakozott ki. Ma már négy kontinens félszáznál több országának diákjai mérik össze nem izomerejüket, hanem problémavállaló és problémamegoldó képességüket. A világ fizikusainak legmagasabb testülete, a Nemzetközi Fizikai Unió a kilencvenes években érmével ismerte el e kezdeményezés világraszóló értékét. Amikor ezt az érmet a 90 éves RОгsĪ bácsinak átadtam, Ī emlékeit idézte fel és várakozásait mondta el. Ezidén Izlandon volt diákolimpia, ahol 60 ország ЦОгĪnвцbОn a magyar diákok Kína, Oroszország, Irán után a negyedik helyen végeztek, messze ОХĪгvО minden NATOországot. RОгsĪ bácsi most, a századvégen eltávozott, hosszú útra indult. De odafent biztosan boldog mosollyal fogadja a magyar iskola újabb diadalát. Ezt köszönjük Neked, Kunfalvi tanár úr! Aki a jѓvĪ héten kíván gazdag lenni, az a tĪгsНцrО megy vagy kft.-t alapít. Aki a jѓvĪ századra kívánja nemzetét gazdaggá tenni, az tanítja a fiatalokat. Kunfalvi RОгsĪ az Eötvös Loránd Fizikai Társulat tiszteletbeli elnöke volt és az is marad. Homage Rezső Kunfalvi memory of tutor RОгsĪ Kunfalvi was a lucky and happy man. He was born together with the theory of relativity. He lived in this wonderful century of physicists, and not as a passive observer, but playing an active role in ruling the events. The modern physics arrived in Hungary in the thirties to the department of Rudolf Ortvay, where RОrгsĪ Kunfalvi was working. In the first years he organized and recorded the Ortvay Colloquies to teach modern physics to a country. He knew Imre Bródy, Kornél Láncos, John von Neumann, Edmund (Ede) Teller, László Tisza, Eugene (JОnĪ) Wigner personally. They, the most authentic people, spoke him about the development of quantum mechanics directly. When he went to teach to the Villányi Street, into the grammar school of the Order of Cistercians, he stayed in contact with the living developing physics. He visited the lectures of Eddington, Heisenberg and Sommerfeld at the Physical Society in Budapest. He organized visits of teachers to the astronomical observatory. His students remembered teacher KunПaХvТ’s lectures with enthusiasm. He belonged to the legendary teachers of Hungarian physics like Sándor Mikola, Károly Novobátzky and Nicolaus Vermes. Meantime he was a hiker. Following the tradition of Roland Eötvös he climbed the Alps, as well as he conquered the peaks of physics. He recorded his impressions in photos and in his brain. His papers on the evolution of physics are the brightest ones in the Fizikai Szemle (Review of the Hungarian Physics Society). His portrait of George Hevesy is beyond all praise. After the Second World War one could

complain but should act. He reached reopening physics section in Középiskolai Matematikai Lapok (the Mathematical Journal for Secondary Schools) and he became the editor. With the withdrawal of Paternal State, he took the job of publishing while Roland Eötvös Physical Society took the financial responsibility. This is the true story of establishing the still existing Mathematical and Physical Journal for Secondary Schools. His greatest achievement was the establishing of the International Physics Olympiad with Czech and Polish colleagues. He organized the second IPhO in Budapest, after the first one in Warsaw. Even the Chinese team leaders acknowledged that the IPhO movement was rooted in the century old Hungarian Eötvös Physics Competition. Today the students of nearly one hundred countries compete in problem taking and problem solving. The highest body of the physicists in the world, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics acknowledged the value of the initiative with its golden award. Taking the award he spoke about his memories and expectations. He is the eternal honorary president of the Roland Eötvös Physical Society.

Na Wydziale Matematyki i Fizyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego (pяĺnТОj ЦatОЦatвФę i ПТгвФę rozdzielono i utworzono dwa oНrębnО авНгТałв). SpОМjaХТгoаałОЦ sТę w fizyce teoretycznej (fizyka МТała stałОРo).

Nie potraПТę jednoznacznie oНpoаТОНгТОć na to pytanie, bo w historii fizyki bвło wiele oНФrвć o prгОłoЦoавЦ znaczeniu. Czym się Pan interesuje poza fizyką? εatОЦatвФą. A jОļОХТ chodzi o hobby, to: akwarystyka, fotografia, zbieranie grzybów i kolekcjonerstwo. Co Pan najbardziej lubi w zawodzie fizyka? АoХnoİć. Ale nie wszystkim jest ona dana, bo osoby praМująМО np. w fizyce НoİаТaНМгaХnОj są bardzo гaХОļnО od kosztownej aparatury, kosztownych ЦatОrТałяа itp. W fizyce teoretycznej, w zakresie baНań podstawowych swoboda baНań jest bardzo Нuļa (byle tylko bвłв dobre poЦвsłв na badania). Co inspirującego można odnaleźć fizyce? Metody stosowane w fizyce Нają sТę łatаo prгОnТОİć na inne dziedziny takie, jak genetyka, zaawansowana chemia, ekonomia, banФoаoİć, ubezpieczenia, a nawet na takie, jak jęгвФoгnaаstаo itp. Co аТęМОj, Нają one pОłnТОjsгО zrozumienie zjawisk w tych dziedzinach. Fizycy, co zaniechali pracy naukowej i przeszli do innych rodzajów НгТałaХnoİМТ, z rОРułв bardzo dobrze sobie аsгęНгТО raНгą. Czym wła ciwie zajmuje się fizyka współczesna? Nie wiem, co ten termin oznacza, bo nie ma takiego НгТału fizyki. JОļОХТ гaİ chodzi o to, co fizycy robТą ostatnio, to nie bardzo uЦТałbвЦ wszystko poНsuЦoаać. Jedno jest pewne: coraz mniej prowadzi sТę baНań podstawowych, a coraz аТęМОj baНań aplikacyjnych o charakterze raczej technicznym nТļ naukowym, co mnie niezbyt poМТąРa. Jak fizyka wpływa na Pana życie codzienne? Praktycznie wcale nie аpłваa. Gdyby nie był Pan fizykiem, to kim? Matematykiem. Które z dzieł fizyki jest Pana ulubione? Dlaczego? Zestaw ulubionych ФsТąļОФ z fizyki zmienia sТę w czasie w гaХОļnoİМТ od potrzeb i nastawienia. JОļОХТ chodzi o najbardziej znane poНręМгnТФТ, to bardzo wysoko МОnТę "ŻТгвФę НoİаТaНМгaХną" Szczepana Szczeniowskiego (6 tomów - bardzo dobry podrecznik!) oraz "TОrЦoНвnaЦТФę ПОnoЦОnoХoРТМгną" Józefa Werlego (nie аТНгТałОЦ lepszego poНręМгnТФa z tej dziedziny). δubТę tОļ kurs Feynmanna (ale nie do nauki raczej tylko do podelektowania sТę niektórymi tematami przed snem), ФsТąļФТ Landaua (na oРяł trudne) oraz kurs bekeleyowski (troМСę za prosty, ale ciekawy). Są tОļ i inne ФsТąļФТ, ale bardziej specjalistyczne i dlatego je poЦТnę. Który z fizyków jest dla Pana autorytetem? Jest wielu. W rяļnвМС sprawach rяļnО autorytety sТę ХТМгą.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

Dziękuję za udzielenie wywiadu, z poważaniem Przemysław Stępiński

Interview with Dr. Waldemar Gorzkowski Can you say something about yourself and about your present work? I deal with theoretical physics, especially nonlinear electrodynamics. Beside that I organize the International Physics Olympiads, and for my greatest pleasure I have been the president of it already for five years. Furthermore, I am the leader of another international competition known as the „ŻТrst Step to Nobel Prize in PСвsТМs” Where did you start your adventures in physics? When did this science touch you? Since I remember I was interested in mathematics, physics and chemistry. For long time chemistry seemed the most interesting. I won Polish Chemistry Olympiad three times (1955. 1956. 1957). By the end of lyceum, physics as the most fundamental science attracted me first of all. Were there any physicists in your family? Could you speak with them about physics? Yes there was one in a lot of years ago, in the 19th century, so there were no opportunities to speak them. Did you always have the best marks in physics? Yes, I did. What about other subjects? I did never have problems with them either, but it is more interesting that I always had plenty of leisure time. In the maturation examination I got very good marks, although I did not like all subjects. I did not like history, PW (it was taught by the same teacher), civics (it was cancelled before our maturation examination), some Polish writers (I could never read through Eliza OrгОsгФoаa’s „NaН NТОЦnОЦ” (At the river), although I honestly tried it several times). But I liked Polish language, especially grammar lessons. Where did you studylater and in what special field? I studied at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Warsaw University. (Later on it was split to two separate faculties.) My specialization is theoretical physics (solid state physics). For two years I also attended lessons for mathematicians, but I decided for physics when the two lessons were in the same time. What was the subject of your doctoral theses? It was about coloured crystal groups. I succeeded completing classification of coloured crystallographic point groups in the three dimensional space. (Before that just 50% of these groups were known.) What were your new results? Discovery of six additional crystallographic groups if dual (spin) space in three dimensions. For simpler understanding, in that space we need 4*pi rotations to return

into the initial state, for the 2* pi in the classical Eukledian space. Moreover, eleven additional crystallographic spatial groups in spin-like space. Discovery of wave-like functions of excitons bonded to ionized donors in some semiconductors. To explain it, an exciton is a bonded state of a negative electron and a positive hole. My new result was the representation of irreducible groups of some spatial ones (for example the spatial groups of pyrite, white iron and beta-tungsten) But I think, the most important achievement in my work is that with talented youths (student olympiads, competitions, lectures, books for people who simply like physics) Which discoveries do you think as breakthroughs in physics? I cannot give a definite answer, because there were several discoveries of breakthrough importance. What are you interested in beside physics? It is mathematics. But if you mean my hobbies, they are aquaristics, photography, picking and collecting mushrooms. What do you like best in your profession? Freedom. Although freedom is not offered to everyone. For example in experimental physics there are costly instruments, constraint of financial conditions. In basic research, in theoretical physics there is great freedom. I wish if there were enough good research ideas. What inspiring can one find in physics? The methods of physics are easy to adopt in other fields, like genetics, high level chemistry, economics, banking, insurance and even in language studies. The methods of physics can help in better understanding of phenomena of those fields. Physicists who give up science and go to other fields will manage well. What is the subject of contemporary physics? I cannot interpret this term, because there is no such branch of physics. If you mean, what physicists are doing, I cannot sum it simply. I am sure that there are less basic researches and they are more technical than applied scientific research that is they are not too attractive to me. How do physics influence your everyday life? In the everyday practice it has no influence. What would you be if you weren’t a physicist? Mathematician. Which are your favourite books in physics, and why? It changes from time to time depending on demand and on approach. Thinking of textbooks I like Experimental physics of Szczepan Szczeniowsk (an excellent textbook in six volumes) and Phenomenological thermodynamics of Józef Werle (I have never met better book in this topic). I like ŻОвnЦan’s essays, but not from scientific point of 63

view. I prefer them before going to sleep. I also like δanНau’s quite hard works, and BОrФОХОв’s lessons. They are interesting but oversimplified. There are good books on specific fields, but I will not scroll them. Whom do you regard prestigious among contemporary physicists? There are a lot of them. In different fields there are different personalities. It would be hard to tell whom I esteem highest in different fields. Thank you for the interview.

Webography Scholar communications about IPhOs and related topics On the web there are several papers about IPhOs, about problems at IPhOs, about IPhO related topics, like gifted/talented children programmes and educational issues, and CVs mentioning IPhOs. Searching only for books containing the expression „IntОrnatТonaХ Physics OХвЦpТaН” is also useful.

LITERATURE OF THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIADS

Bibliography Comments to the Bibliography It is impossible to provide the complete bibliography of the International Physics Olympiads. The list below consists of different items from IPhO proceedings and collections of IPhO problems to news items about IPhOs. There are academic papers dealing in depth with selected IPhO problems, papers on education policies of different countries and sometimes there are papers dealing with some political issues that arose in relation with IPhOs. Some papers are written about the comparison of science competitions, others about dealing with gifted or talented youths. CVs of former IPhO participants are excluded from this bibliography, either in direct form, a selection of them can be found in the chapter individual homepages or in their indirect form when the CV of a former IPhO participant is attached to his/her academic publication. There are also some physics books that give interesting problems in physics. The bibliography cannot be closed. It refers to the present status of the collection. Additional papers and topics can be added any time. Bibliography 1.

APPENDIX I

APPENDIX I

Comments to the revision Receiving copy of pages from Professor Waldemar żorгФoаsФТ’s first compilation “δТst of Winners in the 1st-20th International Physics OХвЦpТaНs“ and later on downloading its next version “δТst of Winners in the 1st-30th International Physics OХвЦpТaНs” the author was a bit confused, because he was not marked as absolute winner of the 5th IPhO. In the revision process he added this information, because he actually was one of the two absolute winners. Nevertheless, he feels that he has to present evidences that explain this action. For that reason, copies of independent compilations, contemporary reports and original documents are shown in this Appendix.  The first item is a copy of the original compilation of Professor Gorzkowski (List of Winners in the 1st-20th International Physics Olympiads). Several errors and mistypes of that list are marked red there.  The next item is a report in the Soviet „Kvant” from 1971. Its fourth paragraph mentions two absolute winners with equal points.  Screen copies from the homepage of the Czech IPhO participation are given to demonstrate that Karel Safarík got 48 points in Sofia.  Finally a copy of the autСor’s Diploma with 48 points is provided. The author is aware of the fact that Professor Gorzkowski did not participate in the 5th IPhO, so he should work with handwritten notes when compiling the list, and he had no other resources to recall results. The author hopes very much that there is no more major error and there are not too much minor errors in the present version of the compilation. Nevertheless, the manuscript will be modified later, if needed.
