This competition is the most important in our country at the high school level, just as the International Mathematics Olympiad is in the world. The objective of OMM is to promote the study of mathematics creatively, moving away from the traditional study that promotes memorization and mechanization, and seeking to develop the reasoning and imagination of young people.
