متن کاملTask Types at “Beaver” Contests
Education process is connected with computers in different ways. Therefore, it is necessary to find proper place for computers in this process. One way to attract young people is using computer-based competitions. There are well-known programming competitions (Olympiads in Informatics) where deep knowledge of programming and algorithms is necessary. However, only a small part of students is inv...
متن کاملComparisons of the IMO and IOI
There are several International olympiads for secondary school students, but the five which are most widely recognised are those in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics, in approximate order of founding. Most of these were originally founded under the auspices of UNESCO. Of these, the discipline most closely related to Informatics is mathematics, and in fact in several count...
