It relates in many ways to contest math, but you gotta realize that's just the tip of the iceberg here. For example, in Zuming's class one day we discussed what might be a simple AIME problem- you have a cone and you have to find the minimum distance from one point to another. A more "technique" oriented class might tell you the simple answer - unfold the cone into a circle and trace the chord. But... how do you know it's the minimum? And it turns out the path lies on a plane when folded again... can you prove this? And it generalizes to the concept of geodesic curves along a sphere. How do you know the path must be a circle, and lies on plane there as well? These questions are very deep, and this is just one example of a kind of problem where you really have to look deeper to the underlying fabric of the math around you. It's not just about contests - and thats what we mean about the language of math.
