1 1894, in order to commemorate the appointment of Evos, chairman of the Society of Mathematics and Physics, as Minister of Education, the Society of Mathematics and Physics passed a resolution: every year 10, a mathematics competition named after Evos will be held, with three questions each time and a time limit of four hours. Any reference books are allowed. Questions are good at mysterious and strange forms, and the general answers are concise and creative. Under the leadership of Evos, this mathematics competition has played a great role in the development of mathematics in Hungary. Many accomplished mathematicians and scientists are winners of previous Evos competitions, such as Fryer of 1897 and Von Kamen of 1898.
2 Influenced by Hungary, Eastern European countries vigorously held math competitions:1Romania in 902,1Soviet Union in 934,1Bulgaria in 949,1Poland in 950,195/Czechoslovakia years ago.
It was the former Soviet Union that named the middle school students' mathematics competition "Mathematical Olympics". The name is adopted because there are many similarities between mathematics competition and sports competition, both of which advocate the Olympic spirit. The result of the competition is surprising, and it is often found that a powerful country in mathematics competition is also a powerful country in sports competition, which gives some enlightenment.
4 1934 in Leningrad and 1935 in Moscow, the relevant state universities organized regional mathematics competitions, which were called "Middle School Mathematics Olympics". At that time, famous mathematicians in Moscow took part in this work. The mathematical Olympics in the former Soviet Union were divided into five levels: school Olympics, county Olympics, regional Olympics, * * * * United Nations Olympics and national Olympics, and then six representatives were selected to participate in the international mathematical Olympics.
The most enthusiastic about organizing the international mathematics competition is Romanian professor Roman. After his advanced planning, the first competition was hosted by Romania and held in Bucharest from July 22 to 30 with the support of UNESCO. At that time, there were 52 students from seven countries in Eastern Europe, including Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, the former Czechoslovakia, the former German Democratic Republic and the former Soviet Union. Each country has eight players, and the former Soviet Union only sent four players. After that, the International Olympic Mathematics Competition was held in July every year (1980 only once), and the participating countries gradually expanded from Eastern Europe to Western Europe, Asia and America, and finally expanded from 1967 to the whole world.
The United States entered the competition in 1974 and China entered the competition in 1985. After more than 40 years of development, the operation of the International Mathematical Olympiad has gradually become institutionalized and standardized, and a set of established routines has been followed by previous hosts.

China won the first place in the team's total score with a total score of 197, and six players won the gold medal. China's Nie Zipei became the only perfect player in this competition. Russia, the United States, South Korea and Kazakhstan ranked second to fifth respectively. Later, Nie Zipei won the Romanian Masters Cup gold medal with the only perfect score.

In this competition, six members of the China team won a silver medal in hardware, beating the United States with a total score of 20 1, and won the first overall score of the team! This is the ninth time that the China team has won the first place in the overall score since 1985.

Features:
(1) Most of the learning content is beyond the knowledge level in the classroom, aiming at training students' thinking as soon as possible and discovering and cultivating mathematics talents through high-level learning and competition.
(2) The topics of Olympic Mathematics are interesting and creative, which is helpful to improve students' interest in learning mathematics and cultivate their creativity.
