1. Basic knowledge of mathematics: including advanced mathematics, linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics. This knowledge is the basis of solving practical problems and is very important for understanding and establishing mathematical models.
2. Programming skills: Mastering at least one programming language, such as MATLAB, Python or R, programming skills can help you quickly realize the calculation and analysis of mathematical models and improve work efficiency.
3. Data analysis and processing: Understand common data processing methods, such as data cleaning, feature selection, data visualization, etc. These techniques are helpful to extract useful information from a large number of data and provide support for establishing mathematical models.
4. Professional knowledge: according to the characteristics of the competition, you may need to master certain professional knowledge, such as physics, chemistry, biology, economy, management, etc. This knowledge can help you better understand the background of the problem and improve the accuracy of the model.
5. Paper writing and reporting skills: It is usually necessary to write a paper or make an oral report to participate in the mathematical modeling competition. Therefore, it is very important to have certain paper writing and reporting skills. This includes how to organize the structure of the article, how to clearly express opinions, how to make effective arguments and so on.
6. Teamwork and communication skills: Mathematical modeling competitions usually require teamwork. Therefore, having good teamwork and communication skills is very important for achieving good results. This includes how to work together, how to communicate effectively, and how to solve team conflicts.
7. Time management and ability to withstand pressure: Mathematical modeling competitions usually have time constraints, so it is a challenge to finish tasks efficiently in a limited time. In addition, you may encounter all kinds of difficulties and pressures during the competition, so it is also very important to have good time management and stress resistance.
