The Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad (BdMO) is an annual mathematical competition arranged for school and college students to nourish their interest and capabilities for mathematics. It has been regularly organized by the Bangladesh Math Olympiad Committee (BdMOC) since 2001. The first Math Olympiad was held in Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. Mohammad Kaykobad, Muhammad Zafar Iqbal and Munir Hasan were instrumental in establishing the Mathematics Olympiad in Bangladesh.

With the dedicated endeavor of the members of the committee, the daily newspaper Prothom Alo and the Dutch Bangla Bank Limited, BdMOC has already achieved its primary goal – to send a team to the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Bangladeshi students have participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad since 2005.

Besides arranging Divisional and National Math Olympiads, BdMOC always extends its cooperation to all interested groups and individuals who want to arrange a Mathematics Olympiad. The Bangladesh Math Olympiad and the selection of the Bangladeshi national team for the IMO is bounded by rules set by the BdMOC, called BdMO Regulations. The Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad is open for school and college students from the country. The competitions usually take place around December–January–February. In IMO 2014, the Bangladesh team achieved one silver, one bronze and four honorable mentions, placing the country at 53 among 101 participating countries.[1] In IMO 2015, the Bangladesh team achieved one silver, four bronze and one honorable mention, finishing in 33rd place.[2] Ahmed Zawad Chowdhury, who previously won a silver and a bronze in IMO 2017 and IMO 2016, helped Bangladesh win a gold medal for the first time in IMO 2018. He had previously missed a gold medal in IMO 2017 by only 2 marks.
