Brief introduction of American college students' mathematical modeling competition
The American College Student Mathematical Modeling Competition (MCM/ICM), sponsored by the American Federation of Mathematics and Its Applications, is the highest-level mathematical modeling competition in the world and the most influential mathematical modeling competition in the world. The content of the competition involves many fields such as economy, management, environment, resources, ecology, medicine and safety. The competition requires 3 people (both undergraduate and graduate students can participate) to complete all the work from modeling, solving and verifying the specified problem to writing the paper within 4 days, which reflects the ability of the contestants to study problems and solutions and the spirit of teamwork. He is the originator of all kinds of mathematical modeling competitions today.

MCM/ICM is the abbreviation of mathematical modeling competition and interdisciplinary modeling competition. MCM starts at 1985 and ICM starts at 1999. It was initiated by COMAP (Federation of Mathematics and Its Applications) and sponsored by many organizations such as SIAM, NSA and INFORMS. MCM/ICM emphasizes originality, teamwork, communication and rationality of research and solutions.

Competition problem: There are two kinds of mathematical modeling competitions for American college students, MCM (Mathematical Modeling Competition) and ICM. These two kinds of competitions have a unified standard. After the contest questions came out, the parameter team selected topics through official website and the United States, which were divided into six categories.

Competition question type

Competition time: The annual competition time of the Mathematical Modeling Competition for American College Students is generally set in early February, and you need to register through official website. Note that the registration of USA Match needs to be paid in US dollars. General schools will organize unified payment.
