"This course of Mathematics is designed for grade 11 and 12 students… Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, Vectors, Statistics and Probability, Calculus." The DMO syllabus is derived from this.
Official but geo-slow — times out from outside Nepal
The world's best free on-ramp. Contains: an unofficial syllabus for math olympiads, a welcome letter for junior students (Grades 9–10), a welcome letter for older students (Grades 11–12), each with solutions, plus Intro to Proofs for the Morbidly Curious and Remarks on English. Written by an IMO gold medallist, USAMO winner and US-team coach.
New-syllabus model paper + complete worked solution. Exactly the DMO register.
LIVE ⚠️ read-only online
NEB-format papers, Set-1 onwards
The single most important bridge document for Nepal. DMO/PMO are MCQ + numerical; NMO is 6 full proofs. Nothing in the Nepali system teaches proof-writing.
IMO marking rewards clear exposition; Nepali students lose points on write-up
Matches the JBMO / IGO Elementary age band
Directly matches Nepal's DMO/PMO age band
Written by Prajit Adhikari — IMO Trainer, IMO 2018 & 2019 participant. Full LaTeX-rendered treatment: divisibility, Bézout's identity, Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, p-adic valuation vₚ(n) and its two rules, modular arithmetic and residue systems, Euler's totient theorem, and the LTE Lemma with worked examples. This is genuinely IChO/IMO-grade Nepali-authored material and the only such article found.
"Here you can find official problems and solutions of all Baltic Way contests." Nepal's 2020 Second Round P3 and P4 are Baltic Way 2019 P3 and P14. 20 problems per year, team format, since 1990.
Nepal's 2021 Second Round P2 is JBMO 2013 P3; P3 and P4 are both JBMO Shortlist 2019. This compendium is the source document.
The official pathway guide (Sep 2026). Links the DMO syllabus and DMO past-paper Drive folders.
"The contest consists of solving 20 mathematical problems selected by the Jury." History + current regulations
Advanced geometry; NMO/TST level
Geometry via complex numbers. Also directly serves DMO syllabus §VI (complex numbers, De Moivre's theorem).
The standard modern treatment of olympiad Euclidean geometry; both Nepal geometry problems are cyclic-quadrilateral type
All of the above plus more, each with LaTeX source on GitHub
Nepal 2020 Second Round P3 is a functional equation. This is the standard free introduction.
The IMO Shortlist is ~30 problems across A/C/G/N (Algebra, Combinatorics, Geometry, Number Theory), each with a full official solution — an order of magnitude above NMO difficulty, and the standard training diet of every medal-winning country.
The world's largest olympiad problem database and forum. Every IMO/JBMO/Baltic Way/USAMO problem with community solutions.
403 to scripts (Cloudflare) — works normally in a browser
Free, high-quality IMO-format mock papers
The standard olympiad geometry text. Directly targets Nepal's weakest area and the IGO contest Nepal already affiliates with.
Higher mathematics orientation; useful for the TST camp's "university faculty" sessions

Once you've grabbed the materials, explore how the topics connect and chart your preparation.
Every official Mathematics topic, placed on the round that examines it first.
Pick a topic to filter the study materials and past papers down to just that area.
Polynomials, functional equations, AM-GM, Cauchy-Schwarz, sequences & recurrences.
Divisibility, primes, modular arithmetic, Euler's totient theorem, Diophantine equations, LTE lemma.
Triangles, cyclic quadrilaterals, power of a point, radical axis, projective geometry, homothety.
Counting principles, pigeonhole principle, invariant principles, graph coloring, extremal combinatorics.

We verify every statement against an official source before it appears here. No fabricated problems ship to production.
Draft stages — real dates and actions are being transcribed from the official notices.
Build core concepts from your school syllabus before touching Olympiad-level problems. Focus on accuracy over speed.
Outcome — Confident with fundamentals
Work through Olympiad problems by topic. Start recognising the patterns that sit behind the problems.
Outcome — Topic-level fluency
Tackle multi-concept and proof-based problems. Develop rigorous, competition-grade arguments.
Outcome — Solves hard problems
Attempt full-length past papers under real timing. Build stamina and exam temperament.
Outcome — Exam-ready speed
Final refinement. Light practice, weak-area review, and peak taper before the national round.
Outcome — Compete at nationals
Official contacts for the Mathematics Olympiad, and the content gaps we are working to fill.
National organiser — DMO/PMO/NMO/TST; selects all international teams
NEB Mathematics curriculum
DMO preparation guide matching the real syllabus PDF — the website's 'Core Curriculum' contradicts it
NMO shortlist count is inconsistent on MAN's own site (Top 20 vs Top 30)
DMO grade eligibility inconsistent (Grades 8–12 vs 9–12)
No DMO past papers are published — MAN's blog promises a Drive folder that contains none
Published 'Second Round' papers (2020–22) don't match today's PMO format — archive needs relabelling
No NMO Finals papers for 2023–2026
No TST papers have ever been published — the exam that picks the IMO team is opaque
Not one published Nepali paper has solutions (all 6 archive papers are problems-only)
JBMO and IGO are unused medal opportunities (MAN is affiliated to both)
MAN's Official Notice Board is empty — no durable home for DMO dates/centres/shortlists
No Nepali-language (नेपाली) olympiad mathematics material
No P2/P5 bridge programme — Nepal scores 1.9% on IMO P2 vs 26% on P1 (original analysis of all 360 attempts)
No calibrated difficulty ladder across the five stages
Topic tree should split into DMO's 9 school sections vs the four olympiad pillars
Pick a topic, follow the constellation, and start building toward the Mathematics national round.
