There are many mathematical modeling competitions, such as national competition, American competition, Shenzhen Cup, research competition and other official competitions, as well as some other non-governmental organizations. Although it is a bit "water" as an academic competition, compared with other university competitions, the mathematical modeling competition is highly academic and recognized.
brief introduction
As long as the mathematical modeling competition is mentioned, it can't bypass the national competition anyway. 20 16 has more than 30,000 teams, with nearly100000 participants. If we take into account the in-school trials set by many schools for national competitions, this number may rise several times.
National competitions are divided into national prizes and provincial prizes. The winning rate of national awards is relatively low. In 20 16, the winning rate of the national prize was less than 1. 1%, the winning rate of the national prize was about 5%-6%, and the overall winning rate of the national prize was about 7%. As the number of winners of national prizes will be further limited next year (national 1 each question 150, national 2/600 each question), the winning rate of national prizes is likely to be lower than 5% from next year.
Due to the different situations in different provinces, the highest winning rate of provincial prizes can generally reach 30%-40%. Therefore, provincial awards are still relatively easy to get. However, the mathematical modeling competition has a limit on the number of awards won by divisions and schools. For example, a school can recommend at most 10 national award teams, and at most 5 teams are the first in the country. In other words, any school can win up to five national competitions and five national competitions every year.
Therefore, in colleges and universities with strong modeling strength, many awards for mathematical modeling are in competition with classmates. If you rank 1 1 in the school, even if you rank higher in the province, you can only win the first prize in the provincial division.
