What is the Japan Arithmetic Olympiad

The Japan Arithmetic Olympiad was founded in 1992 by Mr. Heisuke Hironaka, an internationally renowned mathematician and winner of the Fields Medal and the International Order of Culture, chairman of the Association for the Promotion of Mathematical Sciences. The organizers of the conference are very enthusiastic about Sino-Japanese friendship, and when the first session was held, Mr. Eiji Wakasugi, director of the Japanese Arithmetic Olympiad Bureau, personally came to China to hand over an invitation letter to the deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau, and since that year, he has sent invitations to China every year. The Chinese delegation has participated in a total of 16 competitions and has achieved good results.

The East China Division will be participated by teams from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi.

1. The purpose of the competition.

By participating in the Japan Olympiad, we will cultivate and stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics, improve students' enthusiasm for learning mathematics, and significantly improve the innovative thinking ability of students who have spare time, and at the same time carry out international mathematics exchanges, and actively respond to the theme of "2008 China-Japan Youth Friendship Exchange Year" to carry out friendly exchanges between Chinese and Japanese youths and enhance the friendship between young people of the two countries.

2. Participants.

Entertainment in the mainland does not have a circle, I am watching.

The Japan Arithmetic Olympiad began in 1992 by Mr. Heiyu Mitsunaka, a winner of the Fields Medal and the International Order of Culture, chairman of the Association for the Promotion of Mathematical Sciences, and an internationally renowned mathematician. In the hearts of the Japanese people, he is equivalent to Mr. Hua Luogeng of our country.

The Japan Arithmetic Olympiad has been successfully held for 15 consecutive sessions (Japan has participated in all 15 sessions). Its purpose is to provide a platform for young people who love mathematics to give full play to their talents and wisdom, to cherish and cultivate their innate thinking and creativity, and to stimulate and guide their interest and enthusiasm in learning mathematics. Therefore, the topic is novel, interesting and close to life, and is well received by teenagers, teachers and mathematics enthusiasts from all over the world.

The awards of the Japan Arithmetic Olympiad are individual gold, silver and bronze medals. Although there are few opportunities to win awards, since we participated, our players have won them, which is very proud. Because of the different syllabuses, the learning content and learning pace are also different, and it is not easy to get good grades.

In 2007, at the invitation of the Japanese side, led by Professor Xiong Bin, the leader of the 46th IMO Chinese national team, he organized a delegation to Japan to participate in the competition for the first time in East China, and achieved good results.

In 2008, at the invitation of the Japanese side, he will organize a delegation in East China to participate in the 12th Elementary School Olympiad and the 17th Arithmetic Olympiad in Japan.
