Asian countries rank top in the 2015 -56th International Mathematical Olympiad

[VALKRYIE]

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the world championship mathematics competition for high school students and is held annually in a different country. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating. This year 104 countries participated.

The contest took place in Chiang Mai‚ Thailand‚ from July 4-16‚ with teams from 104 countries participating.

America scored five gold medals and one silver medal‚ making them the overall winner. In second place was the Peoples Republic of China and in third place the Republic of Korea. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Vietnam rounded out the top five countries.

Good job Thailand ! Beating Taiwan and Japan Chinese PDF users must be so disappointed that Vietnam rank at the top. And USA also had Asians on their team.

You know what @AndrewJin @Shotgunner51 @Edison Chen

USA ranked first in the Competition, with 5 gold medals. Of the 5 gold medals, 2 were to Chinese, and 1 to an Indian. That is 3 medals were to very recent immigrants (even their names are traditional Chinese and Indians, and not westernized names)

If you will ask the Chinese-American what they are, it is highly probable they will reply that they are just Americans.

This is the power of soft power, and being a magnet for human capital in the world.

The list is so fake, cuz didn't India, you know the one who invented "0" and self-claimed as "maths & knowledge supa pawa", score outside of all charts?

Get a knowledge how binaries were invented by following some non Indian authors...Don't make a mockery of yourself..

Indian Americans are treated like trash in the US despite your achievements. Article is from yesterday.

Same way all Asians are treated.You can find same kind of video or article on China & other Asian nations too.Its in their blood.

Even the "American" is an asian. What a shame. I would refuse to participate for such a devilish country.

Which clearly most Chinese don't agree with, for they generally fall over their heads, to get US visas, even citizenship.

He is the most geneious mathematician ever lived on planet but died at so young age of 32.

Some times I feel to smack people so hard...

Ramanujan, no doubt, a great mathematician, never comes in the league of greatest of greats.

Also, there have been many mathematicians who have done more than Ramanujan by 32. You must also know that maths is field in which a person makes most of his contribution by the age of 30, and almost completely dies off by age 40-45.

There have been many greater mathematicians.

I just don't understand why you have to come and humiliate yourselves.

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

India has many talented math wiz but they do poorly at IMO maybe its time pressure or the difficulty performing the equation

It is because our system doesn't give weightage to maths olympiad which matters a lot.

Why?

1. Course is totally different
   
   During the maths Olympiad years, most of our students are preparing for IIT and other entrance exams, whose course is markedly different from that of IMO. In India normal schooling course, and that required for entrance tests, is totally different from IMO. We have far more calculus and analysis, conics etc. IMO on the other hand is filled by abstract geometry, number theory, permutations and combination etc.
2. Incentive
   
   There isn't much independent incentive for IMO medallists, as in, in China IMO medallists can enter colleges without any exams. Such incentives are not there in India.
3. Focus
   
   India simply doesn't focus enough on Maths IMO. Hence, it has no proper infrastructure. People aren't even aware about it. I for instance was extremely good at Maths, but I didn't know about this Olympiad until I entered IIT, by the time it was too late.

LOL you don't know many Chinese Americans. not everyone is Bobby jindal. even Gordon Chang calls himself Chinese despite no one accepting that.

Good job Thailand ! Beating Taiwan and Japan Chinese PDF users must be so disappointed that Vietnam rank at the top. And USA also had Asians on their team.

The Thailand team must be mainly consisted of ethnic Chinese in Thailand (a bit like US, Australia, Canada , Singapore teams)

That's why Thailand beat Taiwan and Japan.

Pretty much BSing!

Why?

105>>>>>>>>>>>>>>82, rings the bell?

 

[Mr.Nair]

the greatest? yeah, he must have reinvented 0?





are you sure he invented binaries, not bipolar?

reinvented that there are fools which score '0' in mathematics like you.
