The all-Russian students Olympiad in mathematics aims to stimulate students to form
deep theoretical knowledge, as well as practical skills of solving non-standard prob-
lems. The competition may include separate contests for students of the 1st, 2nd and
senior years. The annual all-Russian students Olympiad in mathematics (see the offi-
cial documents on the web site
www.vso-mon.ru) is preceded in three stages: the 1st
one is held in universities, the 2nd one takes place in regions, and the 3rd one is Rus-
sia-wide. At the present time, the 3rd stage takes place in four universities (in Novo-
cherkassk, Irkutsk, Ufa and Yaroslavl). We compare and analyze organization of the
competitions in these cities. We notice some organizational drawbacks and offer
measures of optimization in some respects: selecting the problems, conditions of stu-
dents’ work, checking the solutions and the procedure of appeal.
Keywords:
Olympiads in mathematics, competition, problems, assessment of
knowledge, appeal.
