UK IMO Register

This is the online version of the UK IMO Register, a database of people who have represented the UK in the International Mathematical Olympiad and other related competitions, including reserves and Team Leaders and Deputy Leaders (but not Observers). The Register was originally created in something like its present form by Tony Gardiner (taking some information from a more abbreviated list distributed by Margaret Hayman in 1979); I have applied updates and added information from various sources since 1996. Note that this is only an extract from the full Register, which is not currently distributed. Please let me know if you have any updates or corrections to any entries in the Register. (I do not believe the Register currently has any official relation to the UKMT or BMOS/BMOC.).

International Mathematical Olympiad—Past UK Team Members (UK IMO Register)

Last modified 21 July 2024
Please notify corrections or additions to Joseph Myers (1994–1995) (imo-register@imo-register.org.uk)
Online version at https://www.imo-register.org.uk/

The IMO Register is a database of past UK team members, reserves, Team Leaders and Deputy Leaders in the International Mathematical Olympiad (including the unofficial 1980 events when the IMO proper was cancelled), the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (in which the 2008 and 2015 teams were joint “United Kingdom and Ireland” teams), the “Romanian Master of Mathematics” competition, the China Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad and the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad. (Some of the IMO teams listed for earlier years were considered teams for Great Britain or England before the participation was fully established as being by the UK as a whole.) The online version contains only some of the information from the full Register: the summary information for each year, the information from the Name and Old School columns (most of which may also be found in Tony Gardiner, The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook: An introduction to problem solving based on the first 32 British Mathematical Olympiads 1965–1996 (OUP, 1997)), and part of the information from the Career column where the person concerned is dead or has expressly approved that information for online publication. The master version of the Register is the TeX source and there may be some oddities in the online version arising from the automatic conversion process. The online version also includes an index of names, statistics of University destinations, links to related sites and recent Team Leaders’ reports on the IMO (plus some older published reports).

While the Register is intended to include all team members, reserves, Team Leaders and Deputy Leaders, there may be some years where details of the reserve are not included. Details of people who were going to be on the team but who were substituted by a reserve are not yet included, beyond notes under the people who have been reported to have been reserve in 1970, 1972 and 1973 but ended up competing; I do not know whether this happened in any other years. Incidental notes are made of people who withdrew before the team and reserve were separated in 2006, and of substitutions for RMM 2008 and EGMO 2022; Sherry Jiang was selected for the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad 2011 but unable to attend and was not replaced on the team. As with all other contributions of information to improve the Register, any information to fill omissions in this area would be appreciated.

In principle, each person’s entry in the full version should include the information listed below. There are still many gaps and omissions, and uncertain information that may be out of date or in error; extra information, whether relating to yourself or to another person listed, is always welcome, as are corrections to the information presented here.

• Full names, with annotations indicating name usually used in parentheses, if not the first name; a section sign (§) if a special prize was awarded; an asterisk (*) if a perfect score was attained; (1), (2) or (3) to indicate gold, silver or bronze medals; (HM) to indicate an honourable mention (awarded at the IMO since 1988); and (R) to indicate a reserve or (R1) and (R2) to indicate first and second reserves. Full names are included for everyone reliably identified as having gone to Cambridge, but others may not have full names included yet or may only have a middle initial listed. In at least one year (1970), not all medallists are yet identified, and there are no details of scoring or awards at the unofficial 1980 events. Details of special prizes and perfect scores may also be incomplete.
• School (the last school the person had been a student at, as of the IMO or other competition). This information is omitted for Leaders and Deputy Leaders, but is present for all students.
• A brief career summary, starting with where the person first went to University, and listing a sequence of successive universities, colleges, jobs, etc., with dates where available. This should include at least one contact postal address, which may or may not be a home address. Other information listed may include:
• A parental home address in parentheses, commonly but not always the address as of the IMO or other competition. If another current contact address is included and this address is no longer current, it should generally be removed (but may not have been consistently removed in the past).
• PhD or DPhil thesis titles and dates are included where known.
• Distinctions such as Fields Medals and Fellowships of the Royal Society are listed.
• An email address should be included if available; more than one can be listed. A World Wide Web home page may also be listed.

Please keep me up to date with your movements. Fields Medals will probably be noticed without my needing to be told of them; other achievements may not.

British participation in the 1967 IMO was a consequence of a visit paid by Professor Walter Hayman (Imperial College) to Moscow in 1966. Walter co-opted his wife Margaret (Putney High School for Girls), who for many years chaired the committee of the Mathematical Association that organised both the BMO and the predecessor of the current UK SMC (the National Mathematics Contest).

The primary source of information used is information supplied by the people listed about themselves and others. Further information has been taken from various web sites, including online CVs provided by some people listed, and the published Cambridge University List of Members (which provided most of the full names listed) and some other such published registers.
