RMO Odisha 2016

Regional Mathematical Olympiad is a stepping stone towards the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad, a qualifying stage of International Mathematical Olympiad

The RMO across the country is held in 25 regions and CBSE, KVS, and JNV.

Odisha will conduct RMO, JMO and SMO 2016.

The 58^th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from July 12 to July 24, 2017.

• Each region has its own Regional Coordinator, who is responsible for conducting RMO in his/her region. Odisha is one of the region for conducting RMO.

RMO Selection Procedure

• The answer scripts of the Regional Mathematical Olympiad examination will be evaluated at different zonal centers in Odisha according to the scheme of valuation.
• First 100 papers chosen on the basis of marks shall be rechecked by the experts to select the 30 candidates to appear at the INMO test. 

Question Pattern of RMO

• Total 40 questions will be asked, each carrying 2.5 marks.
• There will be 4 sets of questions papers.
• The students have to only the answers in the space provided, not the solution procedure.
• The test questions would be of a nature requiring insight, critical approach, logical thinking, the power of application of knowledge in solving problems and the difficulty level increases from RMO to INMO to IMO

Examination Syllabus for RMO, SMO and JMO

JMO – Sound knowledge of mathematics in middle schools. The areas covered are Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, Number Theory.

RMO – The syllabus for Mathematical Olympiad (Regional, National and International) is pre degree college mathematics. The areas covered are Arithmetic of integers, Geometry, Quadratic Equations and Expressions, Trigonometry, Co-ordinate Geometry, System of Linear Equations, Permutations and combinations, Factorization of Polynomials, Inequalities, Elementary Combinatorics, Probability Theory and Number Theory, Finite Series and Complex Number and Elementary Graph Theory. The syllabus does not include calculus and statistics. The major areas from which problems are given are Number Theory, Geometry, Algebra and Combinatorics. The syllabus is in a sense spread over from Class X to XII level. The questions will not be of routine type. The test questions would be of a nature requiring insight, critical approach, logical thinking, the power of application of knowledge in solving problems. The difficulty level increases from RMO to INMO to IMO. In RMO students have to answer six questions.

SMO – Thought Provoking Problems from Analysis (Real and Complex), Advanced Calculus, Algebra (Abstract and linear), Probability Theory, Differential Equations, Number Theory, Geometry of Three Dimensions, Mechanics, and Numerical Analysis.
