Artificial intelligence took second place at the Olympics in mathematics. Can a person hold the lead?
On July 25, 2024, Google DeepMind, a company specializing in artificial intelligence research, unveiled AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 AI models capable of handling complex math tasks. Together they were able to solve four of the six problems of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), which corresponds to the second place - a silver medal. Read more here
Russian schoolchildren won four gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad
Russian schoolchildren won the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO-2024), winning four gold and two silver medals. The results of the competition were announced in Britain in July 2024, where the Russian team performed remotely from the site of the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A.I. Herzen in St. Petersburg.

According to him, Russia pays great attention to supporting talented youth, training qualified teachers and equipping educational institutions with the necessary equipment, which contributes to the formation of a new generation of specialists.
As part of the International Mathematical Olympiad, schoolchildren solved six problems over two days. The tasks covered various areas of the school course in mathematics: geometry, number theory, algebra, and combinatorics.
As a result, gold medals were won by: Ivan Chasovskikh from Khimki, Moscow Region, Yegor Saprunov and Tseren of the French from the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 239 of St. Petersburg, as well as Ratibor Koptilin from the M.A. Lavrentiev School of Physics and Mathematics at Novosibirsk State University. Silver medals received Ilya Zamotorin and Mikhail Yugov, also studying at the Presidential Physical and Mathematical Lyceum No. 239 of St. Petersburg.
The Russian team included winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren in mathematics 2023/24 of the academic year. The team leader was Kirill Sukhov, a mathematics teacher at the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 239 of St. Petersburg. Deputy leaders were Pavel Kozhevnikov, Associate Professor of the Department of Higher Mathematics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Alexander Kuznetsov, teacher of additional education at the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 239 of St. Petersburg, and Ilya Bogdanov, Associate Professor of the Department of Higher Mathematics at MIPT.
The International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) is the annual World High School Mathematics Championships held since 1959. In 2023, the Russian team also showed high results, winning five gold and one silver medals.[1]
2023: Russian schoolchildren win the Romanian Master of Mathematics International Mathematics Olympiad
Russian schoolchildren won the individual standings of 14 international mathematics olympiad Roman Master of Mathematics, which was held in Bucharest (Romania). The press service of the Ministry of Education announced this on March 3, 2023.
According to the results of the competition, medals received:
