1, The Essence of Olympic Mathematics: 1894 The mathematical competition held by Hungarian mathematical circles in memory of the mathematician Eotvos Roland.

2. The mathematical essence of thinking: a form of thinking activity that uses mathematics to think and solve problems.

Second, the characteristics are different.

1. Characteristics of Olympic Mathematics: Stimulate the mathematical talent of teenagers; Stimulate young people's interest in mathematics; Discover the reserve army of scientific and technological talents; Promote the exchange and development of mathematics education in various countries.

2. Mathematical characteristics of thinking:

(1) Give full play to children's left and right brain potentials and improve their learning ability, problem-solving ability and creativity; Help children learn to think, explore actively and learn independently.

(2) Comprehensive training of thinking breadth, depth and creativity is carried out through mathematical activities and strategic games of thinking training.

(3) According to the characteristics of children's physical and mental development, improve children's mathematical reasoning ability, spatial reasoning ability and logical reasoning ability, promote the development of children's multiple intelligences, and lay a good foundation for shaping children's future.

(4) Using magic, quick mental arithmetic training and thinking enlightenment training can improve the basic abilities in five aspects which are most closely related to IQ.

(5) In order to solve the problem of contact between children.

Extended data:

Professor Roman, a Romanian mathematician, put forward an initiative from 65438 to 0956, and held the first International Olympic Mathematical Congress in Romania from 65438 to 0959. Only Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union participated.

Since then, the Olympic Games have been held once a year (only once in 1980), with more than 80 countries and regions participating. 1985 China participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the first time.

The Olympic Mathematics test questions were provided by the participating countries, then selected by the host country and voted by the examiner, resulting in six test questions. The host country does not provide test questions. After the test questions are determined, they are written in English, French, German, Russian and other working languages, and the team leader translates them into Chinese.
