    The document outlines the syllabus for the International Mathematics Olympiads (IMO). It covers pre-degree college level mathematics including number theory, inequalities, equations, combinatorics, special topics, and geometry. The areas covered include things like the Peano axioms, integers, divisibility, congruences, polynomials, binomial theorem, circles, and theorems. The syllabus does not include calculus or statistics. Problems draw from topics in number theory, geometry, algebra, and combinatorics and are at an exceptionally high level of difficulty spanning classes 9 through 12.
