Since it is a math contest, it is inseparable from solving problems. Being good at solving problems is a very important sign of mastering mathematics. Intentional or unintentional competition in disintegration activities has a long history. In ancient Greece, there were related records of competitions to solve geometric problems; /kloc-In the 6th century, there was a fierce competition in Italy about Tattaglia who stuttered to solve cubic equations. In the19th century, the French Academy of Mathematical Sciences sought answers to mathematical questions by offering awards ... These are ancient competitions in the history of mathematics in the world, and modern mathematical competitions originated in Hungary.
1894, the Hungarian mathematical physics association discussed and passed a resolution to hold a mathematics competition for middle school students in China. According to the resolution, starting from 1894, a math competition for middle school students will be held in Hungary every year, with 3 questions each and a time limit of 4 hours. This resolution is the first in the world middle school mathematics competition, and the Hungarian mathematics competition has created and excavated a large number of mathematics masters.
1934, Leningrad University of the former Soviet Union held a middle school mathematics Olympic competition, which linked the mathematics examination with the Olympic movement in ancient Greece in 776 BC for the first time. This is the origin of the name "Mathematical Olympics".
1959 In July, the first World Mathematical Olympiad was held in Brasola, the ancient Romanian capital, which was the first time that a mathematical competition was held across national boundaries in the world. Nowadays, it is worth noting that not every country in the world participates in this math competition, but most countries with more developed economy and culture still attach great importance to this competition. Up to now, Mathematical Olympics has been recognized as the most influential middle school mathematics competition in the world, and it is also the highest level and level of middle school mathematics competition.
Players from China will make this country proud in every Mathematical Olympiad and bring home gold medals almost every year.
