International Mathematical Modeling Challenge — team contest for high school students; International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) — the oldest international Olympiad, occurring annually since 1959. International Mathematics Competition for University Students (IMC) — international competition for undergraduate students.
The first of the International Mathematical Olympiads (IMOs) was held in Romania in 1959. The oldest of the International Science Olympiads , the IMO has since been held annually, except in 1980. That year, the competition initially planned to be held in Mongolia was cancelled due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan . [ 1 ]
The logo of the International Mathematical Olympiad. 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 widely regarded as the most prestigious mathematical competition in the world. The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959 ...
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 ...

At the beginning, the competition structure had been 4 problems in 5 hours, but from 2010 onwards, it was changed to 6 problems over 2 days, with 4.5 hours of exam each day. The 4th edition held in 2011 added exams in Chemistry and Computer Science. The 5th edition in 2012 had exams in Physics and Mathematics only.
This article describes the selection process, by country, for entrance into the International Mathematical Olympiad. The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual mathematics olympiad for students younger than 20 who have not started at university. Each year, participating countries send at most 6 students.
In 1988, the method came to the attention to mathematical olympiad problems in the light of the first olympiad problem to use it in a solution that was proposed for the International Mathematics Olympiad and assumed to be the most difficult problem on the contest: [2] [3] Let a and b be positive integers such that ab + 1 divides a 2 + b 2.
