USA wins first International Mathematical Olympiad in 21 years
A six-person team of young adult Americans bested teams from China, South Korea, and more to win the 2015 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Thailand this month. Led by head coach Po-Shen Loh (Carnegie Mellon) and assistant coaches John Berman (Virginia) and Alex Zhai (Stanford), top-ranked math students from high schools around the country went head-to-head with competitors from more than 100 countries at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And, for the first time in more than two decades, they won.
