Austrian Mathematical OlympiadThe Austrian Mathematical Olympiad (ÖMO) is a series of competitions with associated preparatory courses for students interested in mathematics. It also represents the qualification for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and the Middle European Mathematical Olympiad.

Austrian-Polish Mathematical CompetitionThe Austrian-Polish Mathematical Competition Austria and Poland alternate hosting the competition. It is held at early summer before the IMO and has two parts: the individual contest, consisting of six problems for two days, and the team contest, consisting of three to four problems. In 2007 the competition was renamed the Middle European Mathematical Olympiad and many other Central European countries were invited.

Middle European Mathematical OlympiadThe Middle European Mathematical Olympiad (MEMO) is the continuation of Austrian-Polish Mathematical Competition, held 29 times from 1978 to 2006. Now ten countries participate in the MEMO: Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland. Similar to the IMO, each country participates with at most six students and two team leaders. At a meeting of representatives of MEMO countries held in 2006. during the IMO it was pointed out that one of the goals of the new competition was to enable a larger number of students to gain experience in international competitions. Therefore, the teams participating in the MEMO are typically disjoint from the IMO teams. Also, in order for MEMO to help younger students prepare for some future International Mathematical Olympiad, students in their senior year are not eligible to be in the MEMO team. The most important part of the MEMO are the individual and team competition, each lasting five hours. The problems are of the “olympic” type, typically divided into four areas: algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. At the individual competition the students solve one problem from each area. The team competition test consists of eight problems, two from each area (although at the first two MEMOs the team competition also had only four problems). In the team competition the students solve the problems together, which gives the competition a very special atmosphere. The team part of the competition existed also at the APMC, but it is otherwise a rarity in mathematical competitions.
