If it's a contest for the Olympic Mathematics in the university, it's definitely a contest. In addition to knowledge points, competition questions are more about testing problem-solving skills and thinking, while postgraduate entrance examination is more about investigating knowledge points. The difficulty is equivalent to or slightly higher than the exercises in the textbook of advanced mathematics, but the amount of questions is relatively large. Maybe because the exam time is tight, everyone will make one mistake or another.
For most people, when you master the knowledge points of advanced mathematics textbooks, as long as the time is appropriate and sufficient, the questions for the postgraduate entrance examination can be solved, and the questions for the Olympic Games are likely to be unsolvable.
Introduction to competition mathematics:
1. In modern times, mathematical competition has become one of the effective means to explore mathematical talents. Mathematics competition in the modern sense began in Hungary.
2. Most of the winners of some major math competitions have made great achievements in their later careers. Therefore, all developed countries in the world attach great importance to mathematics competitions. For those who want to show their talents through math competitions, it is necessary and beneficial to know about domestic competitions.
3. Over the past ten years, China's middle school mathematics competitions have developed vigorously, with increasing influence, especially in China, which has the greatest influence on middle school students and won the first place in the highest-level international mathematical Olympics for many times. The achievements have attracted worldwide attention and fully demonstrated the intelligence and mathematical ability of Chinese sons and daughters.
