Educational Institutions - The Flensburg Mathematics Olympiad: A National Competition

At the end of August, approximately 200 young Germans and students from German schools internationally will gather in Flensburg to contest at the Federal Round of the 63rd Math Olympiad. Over two lengthy exams, contestants will showcase their skills at handling the most intricate challenges, as announced by the Europa-University. Individuals who made it this far presumably overcame 207,000 other aspiring mathematicians in preliminary rounds.

The Math Olympiad boasts an annual participation of over 200,000 students from grades 3 to 13. Here, they apply their knowledge of problem-solving under exam conditions, demonstrating the effectiveness of their logical thinking, versatility in combinations, and mastery of various mathematical techniques.

The event is multileveled, with the top scorers advancing from school, regional, and state levels to the federal round, which takes place annually in a different federal state. The most gifted Olympians then proceed to the selection competition for the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO). The operation of the competition is overseen by the Mathematics Olympiads Association e.V.
