4 unusual facts about International Mathematical Olympiad selection process


International Mathematical Olympiad selection process

In Moscow they are separated with process of selection, but in less populated regions pupils take part in both.

IMO team selection in Germany is based on the main national mathematical competitions: The Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik (BWM, the former west German olympiad), the Deutsche Mathematik-Olympiade (DeMO, the former east German olympiad), and Jugend forscht (a research competition).

The Canadian Mathematical Society is the organization which selects team leaders and members for the IMO team.

Students qualifying the INMO get to attend the IMO Training Camp at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, where further selection tests are used to identify the top six students who will represent the country.
