This year's International Mathematics Competition should take place an in-person event, probably in early August 2025 in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria.

Warwick's team for the competition will be selected on the basis of three 2-hour written tests. If you would like to be considered for the team, please come to all three tests. Students completing their first, second, third or fourth year of university education (including courses such as MMath and MASt) and being at most 23 years old at the time of the competition are eligible for inclusion into the team. The Mathematics Department will cover travel and registration expenses of the selected team.

Also, we will run some training sessions, which everyone (even those who do not intend to take part in the selection tests) are welcome to attend. No prior registration is required; just turn up for any session.

The training sessions will take place 1-2pm on the following days (in B1.01 in Zeeman, except the session on 29 January will be in D1.07 in Zeeman):

• 15 January: Oleg Pikhurko "Combinatorics"
• 22 January: Ittihad Hasib "Group theory"
• 29 January (in D1.07): Jan Kus "Linear Algebra"
• 5 February: Jun Jan "Summation"
• 19 February: TBD
• 12 March: TBD

The selection tests will take place 2-4pm on 12 February, 26 February and 5 March in Room L3 in the Science Concourse.

Further information will be added here in due time. As extra preparation, we recommend solving past problems (available online with solutions) from the following competitions:

• International Mathematical Competition (IMC)
• International Student Team Competition in Mathematics
• Putnam Competition
• Vojtech Jarnik Mathematical Competition

We hope to see many of you at the sessions!

With best wishes,
