Problems for the ITYM are suggested by contemporary mathematicians.
▹▹Each problem contains parts with no known solution.
▹▹Each problem is accessible to high school students, elementary research can be done.
▹▹Some problems are advanced and require learning new theory.
▹▹The original problems come from fields of algebra, analysis, combinatorics, number theory, geometry and probability.
▹▹It is not compulsory to send solutions to all the problems. During the ITYM, every team will present at most three of them.
The official list of problems is released 3 to 4 months before the tournament.
