The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is one of the most coveted maths olympiads in the world. Over 100 countries send 1–6 pre-university students to represent them in the competition, in which 6 problems are attempted over the span of two days.Feb 19, 2019
The examination is held over two consecutive days and contestants have four and a half hours to solve three problems per day, which can include geometry, number theory and algebra. You don't need knowledge of higher mathematics such as calculus, but the questions are designed to be extremely difficult.Jul 15, 2015

The Romanian Master of Mathematics competition is a relatively new competition, as it was started in 2008. It is generally a more relaxed competition than the IMO or even the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad, but it is also a very tough competi- tion, and is considered to be harder than the IMO.
Gladwell gives another, tangential reason that Asians are good at math, and it's also the result of a cultural legacy, although it's unrelated to work ethic. The cultural legacy of language can make learning math easier or harder. For instance, Chinese is more efficient than English for learning math.Jul 28, 2019
So, let's take a look at 7 countries that have the smart Mathematicians and we'll look in to what had made them as such.#1: SINGAPORE. ... #2: AUSTRALIA. ... #3: RUSSIA. ... #4: IRAN. ... #5: JAPAN. ... #6: CHINA. ... #7: INDIA.Jan 18, 2019
Which country has the toughest maths syllabus? The Indian education system has the toughest Mathematics curriculum in the entire world. The most difficult exam in the world is the IIT JEE, which is held in India.
Which country has the hardest math? The United Kingdom, The United States of America, etc are the countries having one of the best education systems. But when it comes to having the hardest math, China and South Korea top the list.Nov 8, 2021
MUMBAI: Here's proof that Indians have a flair for mathematics. Indians scored higher than the global average in GMAT's quantitative section that tests math skills in 2010. But Chinese students have the highest average in quantitative scores, and India is far behind, at seventh position.Jan 21, 2011
It is much easier to qualify for AIME through the AMC 12 than AMC 10 because the curve for the AMC 12 is much more generous. Any student who scores in the top 2.5% on the AMC 10, or in the top 5% on the AMC 12 is invited to take the AIME.Dec 3, 2016
Approximately 20% of AIME problems (Problems 13-15) are more challenging than all AMC 12 problems. However, 67% of AIME problems (Problems 6-15) are more challenging than all AMC 10 problems.
Putnam has much more time pressure, and covers a lot more materials because it is a college contest. If you think time pressure and required knowledge are part of hardness, then Putnam problems are somewhat harder than IMO problems.
