International Mathematical Olympiad History
About International Mathematical Olympiad IMO is one of the most prestigious mathematical competitions in the world, every year it helps million students to improve their math skills. The first International Mathematical Olympiad was held in Romania in 1959. Since that year every year it held except 1980 due to internal strife in Mongolia. Initially established for Eastern European member countries of the Warsaw Pact within the USSR's sphere of influence, the IMOs eventually saw participation from other nations as well.
