This year's Math Olympiad took place on Wednesday, March 13, 2019.

The Math Olympiad is open to all 11th-grade students, regardless of their track: at the national and regional levels, the rankings and some of the problems are tailored to each track (science and non-science). Thus, even though not all participants plan to pursue a career in science, this competition gives them an opportunity to practice mathematical reasoning.

The purpose of this contest is to:

• promote mathematics in schools;
• encourage high school students, particularly young women, to pursue careers in science;
• promote scientific and technological culture;
• encourage students to take initiative and develop a passion for research.
