The Romanian Master of Mathematics (RMM) (also known for a period as the Romanian Masters in Mathematics and Sciences) is an annual competition for students at the pre-university level, held in Bucharest, Romania. The contestants compete individually in Mathematics. For a few years, the contest added exams in Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. These exams were then replaced with separate competitions in Physics and Informatics. The participating teams (national and local teams) can have up to four students for each section (plus two coaches: a leader and a deputy leader). The contest follows the same structure as IMO and IPhO and is usually held at the end of February.

History

The first RMM was held in 2008 and has been initiated by Prof. Severius Moldoveanu and Prof. Radu Gologan. In 2010, a Physics exam was added, therefore the name changed to RMMS. At the beginning, the competition structure had been 4 problems in 5 hours, but from 2010 onwards, it was changed to 6 problems over 2 days, with 4.5 hours of exam each day. The 4th edition held in 2011 added exams in Chemistry and Computer Science. The 5th edition in 2012 had exams in Physics and Mathematics only. There was no competition held in 2014.

From the 7th edition in 2015 onwards, the Physics and Informatics competitions have been organised separately under the titles Romanian Master of Physics [1] and Romanian Master of Informatics [2] respectively.

The 14th edition of the RMM was held in 2023 and won by the team from the United States of America. The 15th edition is due to be held from 27 February to 1 March 2024. [3]
