51st International Mathematical Olympiad

51st International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), which takes place until tomorrow (14) in the city of Astana, Kazakhstan, has already granted Brazil with 2 Silver medals and 1 Bronze.

The 6 students participating of the Brazilian delegation had to resolve 3 math problems in under 4 hours and 30 minutes. Since 1979 Brazil has won 8 gold, 23 silver and 59 bronze. The entities involved in this competition are:
  • Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad (OBM)
  • Brazilian Mathematical Society (SBM)
  • National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (Impa / MCT)
  • National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq / MCT) -- supported by
  • National Institute of Science Technology Mathematics (INCT - Mat) -- supported by

I certainly hope trend carries on and education becomes a major investment concern to the government there.
