"Olympiad Mathematics" is the abbreviation of Olympic Mathematics Competition. 1934- 1935, the former Soviet union began to hold middle school mathematics competitions in Leningrad and Moscow, and held the first international mathematical Olympics in Bucharest from 65438 to 0959 in the name of mathematical 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. 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. At the initiative of famous mathematicians such as China and the Soviet Union, initiated by chinese mathematical society, the four cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Han took the lead in holding high school mathematics competitions.

In this process of constructing mathematical model, students' ability to look at and deal with practical problems from a mathematical point of view can be effectively cultivated, students' awareness and ability to solve practical problems with mathematical language and models can be improved, and students' ability to reveal mathematical concepts and their relationships implied in practical problems can be improved.
In this creative thinking process, students can see the practical function of mathematics, feel the charm of mathematics and enhance their sensitivity to the beauty of mathematics. Today, with the emphasis on quality education, this educational function of Olympic mathematics has more important practical significance.
