important tidbit of information : If you can't solve a problem, find the solution, add it to your strategy, rinse and repeat until you find so many different approaches that you can simply solve everything (about that one problem probably)
@@jensonphan There is a difference between memorizing a solution and memorizing a way to solve a problem (he talks about strategy). You should definitely have as many tools in your toolbox as you can carry if you want to be the best in the world.
Although maths are very interesting to many of us, and some even go as far as to study them at university, we need to keep in mind that, taking into consideration the fact that we live in a complex society, it is important to have a broader education and broader interests. Specifically, it is important to be up to date with the news, to constantly be learning about useful stuff for our life and societies, and to look after our health and to exercise.
Fun fact: Chinese team at least get 4 golds in every IMO yet most gold a participant from Chinese has achieved is 2. This is because they dont get multiple years to join this event. If they do, all those name in hall of fame will be full of chinese names.
But isn't there 20 age limit. Most of them are 19 year olds how can they compete again ,seems like they focus on 100% and not to mention university student can't compete too
Isn't it also because they choose those with the highest chance to score a perfect ? So unless one is an absolute machine, China is so huge there's always someone younger, more hungry, better.

I think what people mean by get better at problem solving is usually get better at solving a kind of problems. There are general technics like trying to simplify the problem, but usually you train for something specific. Probably IMO students just look good at problem solving in general because they have trained a wide range of areas and are so high level in some that they can apply this knowledge into other areas.
No idea why the obsession with idolizing people who literally only seem to be good at sitting IMO exams These individuals do literally nothing to advance mathematics in any meaningful way and instead just treat it as some kind of trivial exercise in self-indulgent eristics. The Greeks would be appalled.
I suggest you read a paper by Gaule and Agarwal that goes over this exact topic, establishing correlation between IMO scores and future contributions to mathematics. To quote one of the remarks, "Strong performers at the IMO have a disproportionate ability to produce frontier mathematical knowledge compared to PhD graduates and even PhD graduates from elite schools".
It certainly feels wrong to idolize these KIDS. There is no association between sitting in exams and your mathematical expertise. People might spite you with evidences of success of these people. However, the mathematics is not the inherent reason for their success. It's their own cultivated ability in heuristic arts of niche maths. These exams are attempts to nurture the virtue of cultivated abilities, that is acquired through years of hardwork. Those abilities are useful in any field of studies they might pursue. It doesn't even necessarily need to be mathematical. What Greek would find appalling is the civilizations that were sprouted from them are not performing in those virtues.
Not just great math advice but also life advice

pfft
you can sum it up in two words: memorize solutions😂😂😂
@@jensonphan I agree, the neuroplasticity that happens when solve yourself doesn't happen when you read the solution, its just memorization.

@@ciiccci check their latest perfect scorer on IMO'24. He is still 16! And already got 2 gold medals, both with perfect scores!

Super, Math Wisdom!
Thank you !
he is better looking in this video than in fb picture

it is not a movie, it is a short clip prepared by the UK for IMO 2024.

I don't understand this about problem solving in math. Every problem has its own way to solve then how do you get better at solving unseen problems?
check our last video "how to think like a genius", you will find the answer ;)

Do you have anything to back up your contentions or are you just talking out of your a$$ ?
What is wrong with enjoying problem solving? Cope harder.
