Top 20 Country by International Mathematical Olympiad Gold Medal (1959-2019)

This video shows the Top 20 countries with the most total cumulative International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) gold medals since 1959.
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for High School students and is held annually in a different country. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating. It has gradually expanded to over 100 countries from 5 continents. The IMO Board ensures that the competition takes place each year and that each host country observes the regulations and traditions of the IMO.

​@Marius Samartean The original claim is probably false, since none of the notable participants of Romania is Hungarian. But by the logic of yours, no Romanians lived in Transylvania until 1920, only Hungarians with Romanian descent.

[@fastcargtv6]

@Marius Samartean It simply isn't true. There were a huge (nowadays smaller but still representative) minority since France after the WW I moved the borders in favour of the Romanians (and to all the other surrounding countries even to Austria). We are speaking about a territory which is larger than the current size of Hungary (93' sq km vs 124' dq km of Transylvania) and the Hungarian nationality in that region between 3.5M and 5M people according to different sources by that time. Still after the 25 years of forced assimilation during the Ceausescu era still there is a 1.5M minority who call themselves Hungarian. And you made a wrong parallel with those whom migrated to another country on their own will because it was their decision. But it's not the case of the Hungarian minority in Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia and a very few in Slovenia and Austria. I didn't check the nationality of the team members, so I'm not referring that how much contribution the Hungarian minority made to the result of Romania, just correcting the false information you spread around.

[@devondevon4366]

@@Gareth1892000 Not really since Russia at (3.482) performed better than the USSR at (2.65) in the rate of gold medal obtains. So how come, given that the USSR includes Russia? one reason might be Russia becomes better with time and even better than the USRR but the other reason might be that the USSR might include math members from other countries in order to have representatives, not just from Russia but from countries in the USSR, and so the USSR might not have sent its six best mathletes to compete instead might have sent its 'top 3' from Russia and other 'top 3' were drawn from other 14 countries in the USSR. Yes the USSR has more math talent than Russia (apparently) since Russia was a subset of the USSR but the USSR might not have sent its top 6 students to the competition every year because it didn't want people to think the USSR was just only about Russia. Or as said about Russia today might just better at math preparation for the competition than when it was in the USSR and so Russia today is better than both itself and the USSR in this math competition. Russia was 52% of the USSR population.

[@Sadamitsu]

what if we add scores of Russia and Ukraine to USSR? it's actually how it must be in the video

[@Aaronit0]

Why would we though? USSR was a federated state that included many other countries present on this board. I'm pretty sure all USSR participant weren't a 100% from modern day Russia. A better way to do would be to look up the modern day country of each USSR participant and add it to their nowaday country score. When I see how good Romania, Hungary, Ukraine (and probably others) with that few population compared to Russia, that would most certainly be a steal in their defavor.

@@erejnion My family was serfs. After liberation, they were poor peasants from Kiev. At the time of the establishment of Soviet power, my great-grandmother could not read and write, but she already had a child. She received first primary, and then secondary specialized education (she left as a senior salesman for pensions). My grandmother grew up during the war and post-war years. Having problems in education, she was able to graduate from technical school and retired as a site master in a complex chemical production. My mother graduated from high school with a gold medal, a university with honors and worked at VIAM (those who are associated with aircraft construction, polymers and space technologies know this institute well). Bottom line: many people like to talk about the fact that some peoples are unteachable or stupid by nature. This is all nonsense, it's just that your leaders are more comfortable simply not spending money on social security and fighting inequality. It is easier for them to throw money on propaganda about the terrible USSR (which set itself the goal of its existence to fight inequality)

[@erejnion]

@A M What "no"? Look, I was literally the single best person in the All-Russian Mathematical Olympiad. I'm not making assumptions here. I'm just telling you first-hand facts that I've witnessed throughout my life. I've spoken with the founders and the organizers of IMO. USSR had so many medals because there was literally no competition for these medals. They were the first to have a strong tradition in COMPETITIVE high school mathematics. It's an entirely separate field that doesn't have that much direct practical use in university. You can see when China decided to build a tradition in competitive mathematics: almost immediately they started getting many gold medals. Same with USA. Western Europe has never had any such plans, so it has always been weaker in IMO. And it will continue to be weaker. Because competitive high school mathematics - what is actually tested in the IMO - is a *separate* field. It's not a question of general educational system at all. It's about one specific field that isn't particularly useful later in your life.

[@lordvader22]

@@erejnion you would disagree then that the USSR was leading in natural sciences overall in the years that it existed and had no serious crisis? In my opinion that is hypocritical and I am a mathematics student, the Union was phenomenal, and the fact that today's Russia is still performing so well is a consequence of the foundations that the USSR built. In front of science we have to be objective, and the fact is socialist countries pushed their people in those fields and they got more in return respectively.

Parents discourage students from taking part in Olympiads as no college cares . We are ranked through the jee and only the rank decides which college and which course you get . That’s why Indians in India suck at international competition while those in the USA do far better . Indians have been winning the national spelling bee for 13 years now because it’s more of a cultural thing than an intellectual one . Same applies here . Look at the Olympics too . India performs very poorly there , sports as a carrier is discouraged and there is no organised structure in India like in China for all this . For sports cricket is the only thing most Indians care about . Unsurprisingly we’ve got among the best cricket teams . If the IMO gains popularity in India it will obviously do better .

[@HigehiroGo]

Comparing the number of gold medals won to a country's population is quite silly. Remember, even delegations with good results at the Olympics always limit the number of members to a maximum of 6 people. Suppose Hungary has a lot of people who are good at math but the population size is only 1/100 of China's, the result is that there are still many Chinese people who are qualified to take the Olympics but cannot participate because they have to compete with many other people. people who are as good as them or better than them. Remember, after all, this is a competition, sometimes level is not the only factor to determine victory or defeat between participants whose class and ability are not too different. Sometimes when you feel tired, sick or worried on the day of attending, it also greatly affects your mood and performance that day. Therefore, if you want to mention the population issue, in my opinion it is not satisfactory because in many places, the pressure to compete for a ticket to the Olympics is many times harsher than in other places.

Yes, but as you can see, EVERYONE is equally good. Just not all countries participate every year, some of them can't go due to otherworldy reasons, so, this is that. EVERYONE is good at EVERYTHING, so please do not be racist by just saying people from the westren hemisphere are bad at mathematics. This is because there are FEWER countries in the westren hemisphere (the Americas) then the eastren hemisphere (Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa OMG four continants compared to just two!). But as you can see, if you threw off some of those countries, countries like those, then you will see some South American and African countries (South Africa expectally) eventully.

[@bioinformaticsonline5988]

The Eastern bloc countries are clearly head and shoulders above other countries in maths. In fact, if it was not for English domination in sciences, there could have been much more Fields medallists from Russia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

[@roberts2697]

You should take into account that USSR and all Eastern Europe like Hungary,Bulgaria ,Romania ,East Germany etc started in 1959 and had accumulated their gold medals for 26 years before countries like China started in 1985.

They took part in the game from the beginning, much earlier than most other countries.

[@feketeimre1989]

@@thethe1430 That's true. But if you check the Abel prize winners in the last 15 years you will be surprised. Two out of 15. Not a bad results, don't you think? Furthermore, if you check the main prizes of SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) you can also observe that almost the one third of the prizes are named after Hungarian mathematicians. In terms of population Hungary is a beast in mathematics.

[@SlavchoNaidenov]

Yes, Bulgaria is second :)

[@minidreschi2]

Hungarians always like to be there at any beginning :) But its also true that Hungary also has a lot of Nobel prize. But in the other hand, the people itself isnt that clever, just very various and fresh in genetics because of history
