International Mathematics Competition for University Students
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Mathematics Competition for University Students (IMC) is an annual mathematics competition open to all undergraduate students of mathematics. It is held at a different location each year at the end of July or beginning of August.
The IMC is organized by University College London. It runs over six days during which the competitors sit two five-hour examinations, each with six questions chosen by a panel or representatives from a number of universities. Problems are from the fields of Algebra, Analysis (Real and Complex) and Combinatorics. The working language is English. Efforts have been made to make accessibility as wide as possible; the costs of the IMC have been subsidised by a number of sponsors. Students from a total of 147 universities from 36 countries have participated over the first thirteen competitions.
