The Department of Mathematics, IISER Bhopal, would be organizing a series of Mathematics Olympiad Problem Solving Sessions (MOPSS).
The aim is to develop an interest in mathematics among the students by encouraging them to work on problems falling broadly within the scope of the Mathematical Olympiad.
The forthcoming sessions will be held on the following dates, during 9:00am to 12:00pm in IISER Bhopal in person.
- 3rd, 17th, 31st August, 2024.
- 14th, 28th September, 2024.
- 19th October, 2024.
- 2nd, 16th, 30th November, 2024.
Applications to be accepted until 07th July, 2024 through the Google form posted at this link.
In the Google form, the link to this problem set has been provided. While filling in the form, the solutions to these problems (or the details of the progress made) are to be submitted.
The students, selected for participation in the session, will be informed by 25th July, 2024 .
Please refer to the flyer for further information.

The post by Evan Chen on Lessons from math olympiads is worth reading.
In a previous post, titled Against the “Research vs. Olympiads” Mantra, Evan Chen discussed why math olympiads should not be judged by their relevance to research mathematics. He mentions that in that post, he failed to actually explain why he thinks math olympiads are a valuable experience for high schoolers. In the post Lessons from math olympiads, he puts the amends.
and the last, but not the least, could be to take a look at the following vision of the IMO Foundation, which is a charity supporting the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

It is the aim of the IMO to bring young people together from all over the world to enjoy the challenges of mathematics in a spirit of friendly competition. This provides a stimulus for Mathematics in each of the participating countries as young people strive for selection. Whist clearly it is a competitive event, for most participants, it is the people that they meet and the shared joy of discovery that is what they regard as most worthwhile. It is common that lifelong friendships are forged at IMO events.

If you (the reader!) are aware of these Olympiads, and would like to prepare for them, then you may wish to know about a few training programs.
