The South African Mathematical Talent Search
John Webb
In April 1991 South Africa received its first invitation to take part in the 32nd International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in Sweden, which I attended as an Observer. This opened the way to South Africa’s full participation in the IMO, and since 1992 I, as Team Leader, along with Graeme West (University of the Witwatersrand) as Deputy Leader, have taken a team of six students to each IMO.
