The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the annual World Championship Mathematics
Competition for Pre-college students.
The country's participation is a project of the Mathematical Society of the Philippines and the
DOST - Science Education Institute.
Philippines first joined the International Mathematics Olympiad in 1988 with the late Dr. Jose
Marasigan, also from AdMU Mathematics Department, as the Philippine Team Leader. Since
then, other faculty members from the department were involved as Team Leaders and Trainers
for the Philippine delegation.
Congratulations to the winners and to the whole team!
