The American Mathematical Olympiad is held at the end of April or the beginning of May every year, with 5 or 6 questions in each competition (1 972nd124th to 1995, with 5 questions each time; Starting from the 25th issue of 1996, each issue has 6 questions). The first 24 sections require candidates to complete within 3.5 hours. Starting from 1996, it is divided into two days, with 3 questions per day and 4.5 hours. Every year, the winners of USAMO are trained in the Mathematical Olympiad in the United States, and finally six students are selected as members of the American national team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
Students need to pass the American Mathematical Competition (AMC) and the American Mathematical Invitational Tournament (AIME) before they can enter the American Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO). Russian Mathematical Olympiad is the largest and highest level mathematical competition in Russia. The predecessor of Russian Mathematical Olympiad is all-Soviet Mathematical Olympiad and all-Russian Mathematical Olympiad.
The Soviet Union is one of the countries that developed mathematics competitions earlier. From 65438 to 0934, Leningrad University held the Mathematical Olympiad for middle school students in Leningrad, which was the first time to link the mathematical competition with the Olympic sports competition. Calling the mathematical contest Mathematical Olympics vividly reveals that the mathematical contest is an intellectual contest among the contestants. 1935, Moscow University and Kiev University held the Moscow Mathematical Olympics and Kiev Mathematical Olympics respectively. After that, it will be held every year (except for three years from 1942 to 1944), and the first all-Russian Mathematical Olympics will be held in 196 1 year. This is the first time in human history that the mathematical competition has been crowned in the Olympic Games. 1972 was renamed all-Soviet Mathematical Olympics, and the number of games was re-counted. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, 1992 was renamed CIS Mathematical Olympics, and the number of events was re-counted. This is also the last CIS Mathematical Olympiad. The Russian Mathematical Olympiad was held in 1993, and the number of sessions was counted from 19.
The Russian Mathematical Olympics is characterized by grading, and each grade (7 to 1 1 grade) is required to answer 5 questions within 4 hours. Senior winners can be recommended to enter the university without examination. At present, short-term mathematical activities in Russia have developed into all kinds of mathematical Olympic competitions at all levels, including primary school students, middle school students and college students, among which short-term mathematical activities in middle schools are the most extensive and common. Today, Russia is another powerful country after Hungary, ranking first with a total score of 15 times in the 4 1 International Mathematical Olympiad, ranking first among all countries.
