1. Learn basic knowledge: Mathematical modeling competition needs to master certain mathematical knowledge and skills, including linear algebra, calculus, probability theory, etc. Therefore, before the competition, we should systematically study these basic knowledge and carry out relevant exercises and consolidation.
2. Improve programming ability: Mathematical modeling competitions usually need to use computers for data processing and model building, so it is essential to master a programming language. You can choose to learn common mathematical modeling software such as MATLAB and Python to carry out related practice and project development.
3. Participate in the simulation contest: Participating in the simulation contest is an effective way to improve the mathematical modeling ability. By simulating the competition, you can understand the rules and processes of the competition, be familiar with the ideas and methods of solving problems, and exchange and learn with other contestants.
4. Team-building: Mathematical modeling competitions usually require three people to team up, so we should actively look for suitable teammates before the competition. Team members should have good communication and cooperation skills and can complement and coordinate with each other.
5. Prepare materials in advance: prepare relevant materials and documents in advance before the competition, including mathematical models, algorithms and case studies. These materials can be obtained by consulting books, papers and network resources, and summarized.
6. Formulate problem-solving strategies: Before the competition starts, formulate detailed problem-solving strategies. This includes determining the objectives and constraints of the problem, selecting appropriate mathematical models and algorithms, and assigning tasks and time arrangements. The strategy of solving problems should be flexible and adjustable to cope with possible changes and challenges in competition.
