| Sri Lanka Olympiad Mathematics Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to popularizing mathematics among Sri Lankans. Our Vision
For Sri Lanka to be a mathematically strong country producing high class mathematicians at international level; to retain their best mathematical talent in the country; to have a culture appreciative of mathematics; and to apply mathematics for its economic and intellectual development. Our Mission
For us to hold a Sri Lankan Mathematical Olympiad annually, and discover mathematical talent in the country and nurture them; to send a team to the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) annually; to produce Gold medal winners at the IMO; to have good mathematical competitions for school children and the general public through print and electronic media; to encourage and support math societies and math days at schools; and to publish books and other material to promote general mathematical interest at school level.
Sri Lankan Mathematics Competition 2010 was held as scheduled on April 24, 2010 at 12 exam centers including Jaffna, Batticaloa and Trincomalee. Of the 3265 registered applicants 2844 sat the competition.
Once again it was a massive volunteer effort from the initial planning and setting of the paper to finally marking and mailing results to schools – some of the past IMO participants worked day and night. GRBR Gamlath, one of the Bronze medal winners last year, learned programming and created a database to handle admission cards and sort out marks. This time we paid invigilators, supervisors and exam coordinators provided by the Ministry of Education. This increased the cost of the competition substantially. But the ministry provided us exam centers free in all the provinces except Colombo. In Colombo we set up the exam centers.
SLMC 2010 paper yet again contained interesting and challenging problems. The paper was set, moderated, checked, translated and type set by 6 persons working for many hours without any payment. Nipuna R. Samarasekera, 2009 GCE Advanced Level island best in the physical science stream, obtained the highest score of 163 out of the maximum possible 190. The average of all those who sat the competition is 79.30. There are 147 High Distinction Certificate winners (cut off - 112), 136 Distinction Certificate winners (cut off - 103) and 69 Honorable Mention Certificate winners. Honorable Mention Certificates are awarded for good performances in the younger age groups. Cut offs for Honorable Mention Certificates are as follows: Born in 1994 - 100, Born in 1995 - 96, Born in 1996 - 90, and Born in 1997 – 86.
