What are the math competitions?
There are promising stars in mathematical competitions, including the Mathematical Olympics.

Data expansion:

International Mathematical Olympiad, English name: International Mathematical Olympiad, abbreviated as IMO. The name "Mathematical Olympics" originated from the Soviet Union, which linked ancient Greece, the birthplace of sports competitions and science, with mathematical competitions.

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 level international Olympic competition.

On July 12, 2023, in the 64th International Mathematical Olympiad, all six players from China won the gold medal, and the China team won the total score of the International Mathematical Olympiad for five consecutive times.

Historical origin:

Professor Roman, a Romanian mathematician, put forward an initiative in 1956 and held the first international Olympic mathematics in Romania in July 1959. Only Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union participated. After that, it will be held every year, and the number of participating countries and regions will gradually increase, with more than 80 teams participating in this event. 1985 China participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the first time.

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.

Activity course:

1994, the American Olympic team set an excellent score of six people in IMO history for the first time. On July 5, 2022, the final result of the 63rd IMO in 2022 was announced. China's six players got full marks, and China won the first place in the team total score with 252 points. On March 3rd, 20231day, after two rounds of training and selection, the top six candidates for the 2023 China Mathematical Olympic National Team were determined.

On July 12, 2023, in the 64th International Mathematical Olympiad, which ended in Chiba Prefecture, all six players from China won gold medals, two of them won gold medals with full marks, and China won five consecutive championships with a total score of 240 points.
