Tips for Mathematics Olympiad Participants
The term “olympiad” is used generically to refer to a math contest in which students are asked not to compute numerical answers, but to give proofs of specified statements. (Example: “Prove that 2003 is not the sum of two squares of integers.”) The most famous example is the International Mathematical Olympiad; most countries that participate at the IMO have national olympiads as part of their team selection process. Some areas have additional olympiads at the regional or local level.
