World International Mathematical Olympiad Final Round 2019 Primary 4
Welcome to join World International Mathematical Olympiad Final 2019. For the year
2019, we have over 350 participants to join the WIMO Final Round. WIMO Academy is
jointed a GLOBAL Mathematical society to form an union to train Mathematics elite students
by former IMO winners. The objective is to invite ALL GOLD Winners from HKIMO or
TIMO Final to learn with former IMO winners. To promote Mathematical Olympiad all over
the world, WIMO provides an intensive & valuable experience in winter on Mathematical
Olympiad lessons with TOP Mathematics elite students.
This is a wonderful result for all of us to be interested in WIMO Final 2019 last year. We
have 12 Teams from Australia, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Thailand and Ukraine.
All best,
Andy Lam
Chairperson, World International Mathematical Olympiad Final
