First of all, we should learn the knowledge of mathematical model.
Mathematical modeling, as its name implies, is to build a mathematical model, and you need to know the commonly used mathematical models. Some students may wonder, what models are there in mathematics? This is just a condom formula. Actually, it's not. For the National Games, the most commonly used are probability theory and mathematical statistics.
What I did at that time was to understand the usage and application scope of all the commonly used models (you can find the rules from the topics of the past years), so that I would know what model to use during the competition, otherwise it would be easy to walk into a dead end. The book I was reading was Mathematical Modeling Algorithms and Applications. After all, mathematical models are inseparable from programming and algorithms.
Secondly, we must choose the right teammates, preferably professional complementary teammates.
Teamwork also has a great influence on your grades. On the one hand, they are compatible, otherwise there will be many contradictions in the process. It is forbidden to find those mixed teammates, especially those who just want to win prizes without hard work. Secondly, I think it is best for everyone to complement each other professionally. For example, if you are a math major and I am a computer major, then you can be responsible for modeling and I am responsible for the implementation of the algorithm, which can greatly improve efficiency and don't need to spend a lot of time learning new knowledge.
I hooked up with my roommate at that time. He also has the experience of ACM competition, and his algorithm and programming are fine. Then we invited a student from several colleges. After all, he has studied specialized courses in mathematical modeling and has a general understanding.
Finally, I think it is necessary to learn related software early.
Especially those who have not been exposed to Matlab before, they still need to master the cycle, conditions, sentence structure and assignment operation of Matlab in advance, instead of learning new knowledge while competing.
For me who majored in planning, I think that if you have studied C language or any programming language, then Matlab will get started quickly. If you don't know the usage of a function, just enter: help+ the name of the function in the command window to return to the description.
Of course, if you have spare time, you can learn professional statistical software such as SPSS, or drawing software such as Visio, which are more general in statistics or drawing and have more exquisite patterns.
? ? In short, we still need to be fully prepared for the college mathematical modeling competition, whether it is the professional knowledge of mathematics or the design and implementation of algorithms. If you can find the right teammates, it will be easy to cooperate. I hope you can get good grades!
