Tournament Of Towns
The Tournament of the Towns (''International Mathematics Tournament of the Towns'', ''Турнир Городов'', ''Международный Математический Турнир Городов'') is an international mathematical competition for school students originating in Russia. The contest was created by mathematician Nikolay Konstantinov and has participants from over 100 cities in many different countries. Organization There are two rounds in this contest: Fall (October) and Spring (February–March) of the same academic year. Both have an O-Level (Basic) paper and an A-Level (Advanced) paper separated by 1–2 weeks. The O-Level contains around 5 questions and the A-Level contains around 7 questions. The duration of the exams is 5 hours for both Levels. The A-Level problems are more difficult than O-Level but have a greater maximum score. Participating students are divided into two divisions; Junior (usually grades 7–10) and Senior (two last school grade ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Russia
Russia (, , ), or the Russian Federation, is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world, with its internationally recognised territory covering , and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across eleven time zones and shares land boundaries with fourteen countries, more than any other country but China. It is the world's ninth-most populous country and Europe's most populous country, with a population of 146 million people. The country's capital and largest city is Moscow, the largest city entirely within Europe. Saint Petersburg is Russia's cultural centre and second-largest city. Other major urban areas include Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan. The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. Kievan Rus' arose as a state in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nikolay Konstantinov
Nikolay Nikolayevich Konstantinov (russian: Николай Николаевич Константинов; 2 January 1932 – 3 July 2021) was a leading Soviet and Russian mathematical educator and organizer of numerous mathematics competitions for high school students. He is best known as the creator of the system of math schools and math classes and as the creator and chief organizer of the Tournament of the Towns. For his work he was awarded the Paul Erdős award in 1992. Biography Konstantinov was born and grew up in Moscow, Soviet Union. He graduated from the Physics Department of the Moscow State University in 1954, and later received a Ph.D. in physics. In the 1950s, he started a math circle in Moscow University and since the 1960s in a number of Moscow high schools. He continued working with schools developing special classes with mathematics concentration and individual approach to learning. His students went on to win mathematics competitions on all levels an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
International Mathematical Olympiad
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a mathematical olympiad for pre-university students, and is the oldest of the International Science Olympiads. The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959. It has since been held annually, except in 1980. More than 100 countries, representing over 90% of the world's population, send teams of up to six students, plus one team leader, one deputy leader, and observers. The content ranges from extremely difficult algebra and pre-calculus problems to problems on branches of mathematics not conventionally covered in secondary or high school and often not at university level either, such as projective and complex geometry, functional equations, combinatorics, and well-grounded number theory, of which extensive knowledge of theorems is required. Calculus, though allowed in solutions, is never required, as there is a principle that anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics should understand the problems, even if the solutions req ...

Mathematics Competitions
Mathematics competitions or mathematical olympiads are competitive events where participants complete a math test. These tests may require multiple choice or numeric answers, or a detailed written solution or proof. International mathematics competitions * Championnat International de Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques — for all ages, mainly for French-speaking countries, but participation is not limited by language. * China Girls Mathematical Olympiad (CGMO) — held annually for teams of girls representing different regions within China and a few other countries. * European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) — since April 2012 * Integration Bee — competition in integral calculus held in various institutions of higher learning in the United States and some other countries * Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM) — team contest for undergraduates * International Mathematical Modeling Challenge — team contest for high school students * Internati ...
