Sample Problems

Previous Olympiad Papers

The students must try to solve the problems from the old exams of RMO and INMO. All these problems can be solved without using Calculus or calculators. However, these problems are not routine text book problems. They are considerably harder, calling for ingenuity on the part of the solver. Therefore, it is highly advisable that a student solves as many new problems as possible, with no or with minimum help. Note that if you are unable to solve at least one problem from each old RMO exam without any help, RMO is not for you.

Lecture Notes, Handouts and Links

Miscellaneous online resources for the Olympiad

Just like the IMO Training Camp organized by HBCSE, various countries organize their own training camps for the IMO. The lecture notes and handouts from these training camps provide a rich source of preparatory material and problems for the Mathematical Olympiad. Several noted mathematicians and previous champions of the Olympiads contribute to these materials regularly. The students are encouraged to consult the following resources.

Lecture Notes from the Canada IMO Training Camps (since 1998)
Olympiad Training Handouts from Yufei Zhao (since 2007)
Olympiad Training Handouts from Alexander Remorov (since 2010)
Lecture Notes from the Indian IMO Training Camps (since 2013)

Lecture Notes on Inequalities by Kiran Kedlaya (1999)
Lecture Notes on Inequalities by Thomas J. Mildorf (2005)
Lecture Notes on Number Theory by Thomas J. Mildorf (2010)
Lecture Notes on Number Theory by Naoki Sato

Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) offers an amazing online community of likeminded students and educators who enjoy discussing interesting mathematical problems. You may find AoPS community and their resources extremely useful while preparing for the Olympiads. Please note that AoPS may hold quick answers to many mathematical problems -- but the goal for you should be to arrive at the solution by yourself -- even if it is really painstaking. So, have fun discussing problems, but please avoid any shortcut to problem-solving.
