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.
In 20 18, 1449 colleges/campuses and 42 128 teams (38,573 undergraduate teams and 3,555 junior college teams) from 34 provinces/cities/regions (including Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province) and the United States and Singapore signed up for the competition.
The concept of mathematical modeling competition;
Simply put, the mathematical model contest is a mathematical expression of practical problems. Specifically, a mathematical model is an abstract and simplified mathematical structure of some real worlds for a certain purpose.
More precisely, a mathematical model is a mathematical structure obtained by simplifying some necessary assumptions and using appropriate mathematical tools according to its unique internal laws for specific objects and specific goals. Mathematical structures can be mathematical formulas, algorithms, tables, charts, etc.
Mathematical modeling is to establish a mathematical model, and the process of establishing a mathematical model is the process of mathematical modeling (see the flow chart of mathematical modeling process). Mathematical modeling is a mathematical thinking method, and it is a powerful mathematical means to describe and "solve" practical problems by using mathematical language and methods through abstraction and simplification.
