About ITMC
International Talent Mathematics Contest (ITMC) was established by Thai Talent Training and its founder Mr. Pmitep Krongai. For many years, Thailand has been one of the leading countries in the realm of mathematics. They have performed well in world-class competitions in various countries. In 2013, Thai Talent Training held the first Thai Mathematics Competition (TMC) and it was open to Thai students from grades 2-11. The purpose of the competition is to inspire more students to learn mathematics and to cultivate systematic thinking through the process of learning mathematics and logic. In addition, it also helps identify Thai students with talents in mathematics, helps them become national representatives, and participate in various large-scale competitions, such as WMTC or IMO. On February 9, 2019, President Pmitep Krongai invited outstanding organizations from all over the world to participate in TMC in order to promote cultural exchanges. Hence, ITMC was born and was recognized by many mathematics groups and associations.
