A Mathematical Olympiad is a mathematical competition where participants are examined by problem solving[1] and may win medals depending on their performance. Usually aimed at pre-university students, much of Olympiad mathematics consists of elementary mathematics, though solutions may involve the use of calculus or higher-level mathematics. The biggest mathematics Olympiad is the International Mathematical Olympiad.[2] Among their objectives, they serve the purpose of identifying talented or gifted students in mathematics, who often receive opportunities for scholarships at universities.[3][4][5] In a sense, they measure some mathematical abilities of the students.[4] In the age of artificial intelligence, the AIMO was created.[6]
