Revision as of 15:54, 27 June 2006
The International Mathematical Olympiad is the pinnacle of all high school mathematics competitions. Each year, countries from around the world send a team of 6 students to compete in a grueling competition.
Contents
Format of the Competition
The competition takes place over 2 consecutive days. Each day 3 problems are given to the students to work on for 4.5 hours.
Scoring
Scoring on each problem is done on a 0-7 scale (inclusive and integers only). Full credit is only given for complete, correct solutions. Each solution is intended to be in the form of a mathematical proof. Since there are 6 problems, a perfect score is 42 points.
Awards
Medals and honorable mentions are given out.
- Gold - the top 1/12 of individual scores.
- Silver - the next 2/12 of individual scores.
- Bronze - the next 3/12 of individual scores.
- Honorable mention - any student who receives a score of 7 on any one problem but did not receive a medal.
Team Competition
There is no official team competition. Unofficially, however, the scores of each team are compared each year where a team's score is the sum of their individual scores.
