👋 Participation of a few Indian contestants in some International Olympiads

Geoff Smith remarked the following in the foreword to the text Infinity by Hojoo Lee, Tom Lovering, and Cosmin Pohoata.

The nations which do consistently well at this competition (IMO) must have at least one (and probably at least two) of the following attributes:

• A large population.
• A significant proportion of its population in receipt of a good education.
• A well-organized training infrastructure to support mathematics competitions.
• A culture which values intellectual achievement.

Alternatively, you need a cloning facility and a relaxed regulatory framework.

👋 IMO

International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)

• The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for High School students. It is held annually in a different country.
• The IMO Foundation is a charity which supports the IMO. Its vision is as follows.

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.

• The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959, with seven countries participating.
• It has since been held annually, except in 1980.
• Currently, it has expanded to over 100 countries across the globe.
• Each country sends a team of up to six students.
• In the recent past,
  • Japan was the host for IMO2023,

  • IMO2024 will take place in UK during July, 2024.
  • IMO2025 will be held in Australia.
  • IMO2026 will be held in People’s Republic of China.
  • IMO2027 will be held in Hungary.
• IMO is held over two consecutive days with 3 problems each. Each day, the contestants have four-and-a-half hours to solve three problems. Each problem is worth 7 points for a maximum total score of 42 points.
• The problems are arranged so that the order in increasing difficulty is Q1, Q4, Q2, Q5, Q3 and Q6, where the Day 1 problems Q1, Q2, and Q3 are in increasing difficulty, and the Day 2 problems Q4, Q5, and Q6 are in increasing difficulty.
