Olympic Mathematics is the training material of Olympic Mathematics, which is the abbreviation of International Olympic Mathematics Competition and a competition mechanism.
Professor Roman, a Romanian mathematician, put forward an initiative in 1956 and held the first International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in Romania in July 1959. Only Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union participated.
After that, it will be held once a year (1980 only once), and the number of participating countries and regions will gradually increase. At present, there are more than 80 teams participating in this competition. China participated in the International Mathematical Olympics for the first time in 1985.
Benefits of the Olympic Games:
The Olympic Mathematics is relatively in-depth, and the vigorous development of mathematical olympiad has greatly stimulated children's interest in learning mathematics, which has become a useful activity to guide them to be positive, explore actively and grow healthily.
There are many practical problems, such as counting, graph theory, logic, pigeon hole principle and so on. To solve this kind of problem, it is generally necessary to analyze and summarize the mathematical significance of the actual problem, abstract the actual problem into a mathematical problem, and then use the corresponding mathematical knowledge and methods to solve it.
