According to its official website, WMI gathers institutes and organizations worldwide that make efforts in promoting and popularizing mathematics. The competition (finals) is held in different countries every year. Through interacting with other math-loving students that represent their countries, students can expand their worldview, experience different cultures, and thus their horizon as well as their future will be broaden. WMI not only provides math-gifted students with an opportunity to participate in an international competition, but also allows the world to witness their competitive capabilities.
Founded in 2013, World Mathematics Invitational is a comprehensive competition, meaning that students from kindergarten to senior high school can all participate in the event.
