The Irish Mathematical Olympiad (IrMO) 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:
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 the IrMO is used to identify a squad of about twelve students who will be offered two further selection tests on the basis of which a team will be chosen that represents Ireland at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), a prestigious international mathematics competition. The policy on eligibility to represent Ireland at the IMO is available here.
The 2024 IMO competition will take place in Bath, United Kingdom, from 10 - 22 July 2024.
The IrMO 2023 Roll of Honour is available here. This lists the top performing students in IrMO 2023. Well done to all!
