Irish Maths Olympiad

• The Irish Mathematical Olympiad is a national mathematics contest for secondary school students. Training for this contest takes place at a number of mathematics enrichment centres around the country, our closest one being University of Limerick
• The primary aim of the enrichment classes is to cultivate a love and appreciation for mathematics among talented students – this is achieved by giving such students exposure to deeper, more challenging and more interesting mathematical problems than those encountered on the school syllabus.
• The performance of students in this competition is used to identify a team of up to six students who will represent Ireland at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), a prestigious international mathematics competition. The 2016 IMO competition will take place in Hong Kong from 6 – 16 July 2016.
