The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a mathematical olympiad for pre-university students, and is the oldest of the International Science Olympiads. [1] It is "the most prestigious" mathematical competition in the world.
The IMO was established following agreement at a UN conference held in Geneva in 1948 [3] and the IMO came into existence ten years later, meeting for the first time on 17 March 1958. [4] Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the IMO, in 2024, has 176 Member States and three Associate Members. [5]
North Korea is the only country whose entire team has been caught cheating, resulting in its disqualification at the 32nd IMO in 1991 and the 51st IMO in 2010. [6] (However, the 2010 case was controversial. [7] [8]) There have been other disqualifications of contestants due to cheating, but such cases are not officially made public. [9]
The following IMO participants have either received a Fields Medal, an Abel Prize, a Wolf Prize or a Clay Research Award, awards which recognise groundbreaking research in mathematics; a European Mathematical Society Prize, an award which recognizes young researchers; or one of the American Mathematical Society's awards (a Blumenthal Award in ...
In Pakistan, selection for the IMO participants is quite similar to that in other countries. The process starts one and a half year before a particular IMO; and a test (also known as NMTC - National Mathematics Talent Contest) is taken by the high school students which is organized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The test is ...
After hosting the IMO in Beijing in 1990, the Winter Camp was named the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad in 1991. [5] China has been sending its team to the IMO every year, except for the 1998 IMO held in Taipei, which the Chinese team did not take part due to serious cross-strait tensions.
Championnat International de Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques — for all ages, mainly for French-speaking countries, but participation is not limited by language.; China Girls Mathematical Olympiad (CGMO) — held annually for teams of girls representing different regions within China and a few other countries.
The American Mathematics Competitions (AMCs) are the first of a series of competitions in secondary school mathematics sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) that determine the United States of America's team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The selection process takes place over the course of roughly five ...
