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.
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 results of the 63rd IMO were announced. China's six players got full marks, and China won the first place with 252 points.
The test questions were provided by the participating countries, then selected by the host country and submitted to the examiners' committee for voting, resulting in six test questions. The host country does not provide test questions. After the test questions are determined, they will be written in English, French, German, Russian and other working languages, and the team leader will translate them into the national language.
