The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual mathematics competition for high school students from around the world. Established in 1959, it brings together talented young mathematicians to solve challenging problems that test their creativity and problem-solving skills. Each participating country sends a team of up to six students, accompanied by a leader and a deputy leader. The competition consists of two days of exams, with each day featuring three problems that must be solved within a 4.5-hour time limit. Participants are awarded medals based on their performance, with gold, silver, and bronze medals given to the top scorers. The IMO promotes international collaboration and fosters a love for mathematics among young people.
