1, different definitions

Olympic Mathematical Competition or Mathematical Olympics, or simply Olympics. As an international competition, the International Mathematical Olympiad was put forward by international mathematical education experts, which exceeded the level of compulsory education in various countries and was much more difficult than the college entrance examination.

Mathematics is a discipline that studies the concepts of quantity, structure, change, space and information, and belongs to a formal science from a certain point of view. Mathematicians and philosophers have a series of views on the exact scope and definition of mathematics.

2. The development history is different.

Olympic mathematics: in the world, competitions with numbers as the content have a long history: there were competitions to solve geometric problems in ancient Greece; During the Warring States Period in China, horse racing between Qi Weiwang and Tian Ji was actually a game of game theory.

1934 and 1935, the Soviet union began to hold middle school mathematics competitions in Leningrad and Moscow, and 1959 held the first international mathematics Olympics in Bucharest.

Mathematics: In ancient China, mathematics was called arithmetic, also known as arithmetic, and was finally changed to mathematics. Arithmetic in ancient China was one of the six arts (called "number" in the six arts).

Mathematics originated from the early production activities of human beings, and the ancient Babylonians had accumulated some mathematical knowledge, which could be applied to practical problems. As far as mathematics itself is concerned, their mathematical knowledge is only obtained through observation and experience, and there is no comprehensive conclusion and proof, but their contribution to mathematics should also be fully affirmed.

3. Different functions

Olympiad Mathematics has a certain effect on teenagers' mental exercise, which can exercise thinking and logic. It plays a more profound role than ordinary mathematics for students.

Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. It can be said that every major progress of mankind is backed by mathematics. In the first industrial revolution, man invented the steam engine. Without mathematics, there would be no advanced automobile automation production line.

In the current information revolution, if there is no mathematics, how can information exchange be so fast? Mathematics is a tool discipline, which is the basis of learning other disciplines. Often breakthroughs in mathematics will lead to major breakthroughs in many other disciplines.
