About APMO

The Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad (APMO) is a mathematical competition for countries in the Pacific-Rim Region.

The APMO is held annually. Each participating country has a representative in charge of organizing the APMO locally.

A central committee selects a paper with five questions to be solved in four hours, sends marking schemes and determines award winners.

Since 1989

The APMO started in 1989 and has grown into one of the most respected mathematical competitions in the Pacific region.

The core objectives that guide APMO each year.

Discovering, encouraging and challenging mathematically gifted high-school students.

Fostering friendly international relations and cooperation between students and teachers throughout the region.

Creating opportunities for the exchange of information on school syllabi and practice.

Encouraging and supporting mathematical involvement with Olympiad-type activities in participating countries and throughout the region.

For over three decades, APMO has connected young mathematicians across the Pacific region through challenge, collaboration, and academic excellence.
