The United States of America will host the 42nd International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in the year 2001 in Washington DC. The IMO is the premier international mathematics competition for high school students and it will bring to the USA more than 500 of the most talented high school age mathematicians from more than 80 countries. The American mathematics community will use this opportunity to promote the importance of mathematics for all students and to celebrate the accomplishments of our best and brightest students.For the American mathematics community, the IMO provides an opportunity to promote the importance of a strong mathematics education for all students--much like the Olympics are used to promote physical fitness for all--and to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our nation's young men and women in mathematics.Funding from the National Science Foundation will support the office and staff that will plan and manage the event to provide a part of the participant support. This funding comes from the Infrastructure Program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA). Staff will work with volunteers and the Board of directors of IMO 2001 USA Inc to coordinate the outreach activities, solicit corporate sponsors and promote research efforts.The goal of this project is to organize and put on the IMO in the USA, to use this opportunity to promote excellence in mathematics among all students, and to study the characteristics of an international sample of exceptional mathematics students and attempt to understand how to identify and nurture such students, no matter the seting in which they may appear.

美利坚合众国将于2001年在华盛顿特区主办第42届国际数学奥林匹克(国际数学奥林匹克)。国际数学竞赛是针对高中生的首屈一指的国际数学竞赛，它将把来自80多个国家的500多名最有才华的高中年龄的数学家带到美国。美国数学界将利用这个机会宣传数学对所有学生的重要性，并庆祝我们最优秀和最聪明的学生取得的成就。对美国数学界来说，国际海事组织提供了一个机会，向所有学生宣传强有力的数学教育的重要性--就像奥运会被用来促进全民身体健康一样--并庆祝我们国家的年轻男女在数学方面取得的杰出成就。国家科学基金会的资助将支持计划和管理这一活动的办公室和工作人员，以提供参与者支持的一部分。这笔资金来自数学科学部和MPS多学科活动办公室(OMA)的基础设施计划。工作人员将与IMO 2001美国公司的志愿者和董事会合作，协调外展活动，征集企业赞助商，并促进研究工作。该项目的目标是在美国组织和推出IMO，利用这个机会在所有学生中促进优秀的数学，并研究国际样本中优秀数学学生的特征，并试图了解如何识别和培养这些学生，无论他们可能出现在什么环境中。
