The National Mathematical Modeling Competition for College Students was founded in 1992 and held once a year. It has become the largest basic subject competition in domestic universities and the largest mathematical modeling competition in the world.

Competition content:

Competition topics generally come from practical problems that have been properly simplified in engineering technology and management science. Participants are not required to master in-depth professional knowledge in advance, but only need to have studied mathematics courses in colleges and universities.

The topic has great flexibility, allowing participants to exert their creative ability. Participants should complete a paper (that is, an answer sheet) including the hypothesis of the model, the establishment and solution, the design and computer realization of the calculation method, the analysis and test of the results, and the improvement of the model.

Competition awards are based on the rationality of assumptions, the creativity of modeling, the correctness of results and the clarity of text expression.
