Syllabus for International Mathematics Olympiad (INMO)

The syllabus for Mathematics Olympiad (regional, national and international) is pre-degree college

mathematics.

The areas covered are

 Arithmetic of integers,

 Geometry,

 Quadratic equations and expressions,

 Trigonometry,

 Co-ordinate geometry,

 Systems of linear equations,

 Permutations and combinations,

 Factorisation of polynomials,

 Inequalities,

 Elementary combinatorics,

 Probability theory and number theory, finite series

 Complex numbers

 Elementary graph theory.

Note:  The syllabus does not include Calculus and Statistics. The major areas from which problems are given

are number theory, geometry, algebra and combinatorics. The syllabus is in a sense spread over

Class IX to Class XII levels, but the problems under each topic are of exceptionally high level in

difficulty and sophistication. The difficulty level increases from RMO to INMO to IMO.
