Two Olympic numbers

It has a history of more than 30 years. As an international competition, the International Mathematical Olympiad was put forward by international mathematical education experts.
(2) It is much more difficult than the college entrance examination. In 20 12 years, IMO has become the most influential academic competition in the world, and it is also recognized as the highest level mathematics competition for middle school students. The math contest in China started at 1956. Under the advocacy of famous mathematicians such as China and the Soviet Union, four cities initiated by chinese mathematical society first held high school mathematics competitions.
