50th IMO – 50 Years of International Mathematical Olympiads 2011th Edition by Hans-Dietrich Gronau (PDF)

Description

In July 2009 Germany hosted the 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). For the very first time the number of participating countries exceeded 100, with 104 countries from all continents. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the IMO provides an ideal opportunity to look back over the past five decades and to review its development to become a worldwide event. This book is a report about the 50th IMO as well as the IMO history. A lot of data about all the 50 IMOs are included. We list the most successful contestants, the results of the 50 Olympiads and the 112 countries that have ever taken part. It is impressive to see that many of the world’s leading research mathematicians were among the most successful IMO participants in their youth. Six of them gave presentations at a special celebration: Bollobás, Gowers, Lovász, Smirnov, Tao and Yoccoz. This book is aimed at students in the IMO age group and all those who have interest in this worldwide leading competition for highschool students.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is an outstanding book on the 50th anniversary of the International Mathematical Olympiad, the most prestigious mathematics competition for high school students in the world. The authors have put together a most informative package on the past history and the current status of the competition. All participating teams were photographed with their natioinal flags. Complete contest statistics is provided. Of course, there are also the problems. Most valuable are the lectures by six of the most illustrious alumni of the Competition, including Terry Tao and Laszlo Lovasz. It is not a book to prepare for the IMO, but it is a very good read.
