World Youth Olympic Mathematics Competition

The mathematics competition for middle school students in the modern sense originated in Hungary. Until the 1930s, the former Soviet Union held middle school mathematics competitions in Leningrad and Moscow in 1934 and 1935 respectively, which were named Mathematical Olympics. The first International Mathematical Olympiad was held in Burkina Faso from 65438 to 0959. Since then, the Olympic movement has gradually developed and expanded around the world. Until the 1960s, it was basically realized that all regions and countries in the world participated in the Olympic Mathematics Competition. As an intellectual competition, compared with sports competitions, it also emphasizes the spirit of persistent pursuit, which has gradually become the knowledge of the world. Nowadays, most economically developed countries in the world have been among them, and the international Olympic competition has become the most influential discipline competition in the world, and it is also recognized as the highest level mathematics competition. China has participated in this competition since 1985, and has achieved excellent results many times.

Nowadays, in order to meet the needs of social development, guide children's interests and hobbies in mathematics, and cultivate their ability of mathematical exploration, the World Olympic Mathematics Competition Association has decided to start with "Olympic Mathematics" (2007-08 season) and increase the number of international mathematics competitions for teenagers, with students from grade three to grade nine participating. Therefore, in August 2008, China will select the winners of elementary mathematics and form a national team to participate in the finals of the World Junior Olympic Mathematics Competition in Tokyo.

World Olympic Mathematical Competition

Children's mathematics competition has a long history in the world. It is generally believed that it started at 1894 and was organized by the Hungarian mathematics community to commemorate the mathematician Eotvos Roland. Comparing mathematics competition with sports competition, it is the former Soviet Union that is linked with ancient Greece, the birthplace of science. She called the math competition the math Olympics. In the first half of the 20th century, different countries organized all kinds of mathematics competitions at all levels, first in schools, then in regions, and then in the whole country, and gradually formed a pyramid competition system. The further development of national competitions naturally creates the necessary conditions for the formation of the highest international competition. From 65438 to 0975, the Mathematics Committee of Budapest University in Hungary was in propose to create, and the first World Mathematical Olympiad (WMO) was held in Hungary from 65438 to 0978. With the expansion of its influence, more and more countries and regions are involved. 1998 With the support of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and the joint efforts of the Japanese Youth Intelligence Development Fund and 20 large enterprises, the headquarters of the Association was moved to Tokyo, Japan, and the current chairman is Professor Peter Frank, a world-renowned mathematics educator. At present, there are more than 60 teams participating in this competition. After more than 30 years of development, the operation of the World Mathematical Olympics has been gradually institutionalized and standardized, and a set of established routines has been followed by all previous hosts.

The traditional World Meteorological Organization is an international Olympic competition for high school students. In the 2007-2008 season, the World Olympic Mathematics Competition Association added a youth (9- 16 years old) competition, which was hosted by participating countries in turn once a year. China became a member of wmo (Junior Group) for the first time in 2007, and formally introduced IMO competition system (Junior Olympic Games) to China.

Mainly to refine the age.

It can be said that they are all official, but the influence and authority of IMO are much higher than that of WMO.
