1. Paper writing is very important! MCM awards are unevenly distributed. There are more than a dozen excellent+final teams, and there are hundreds in Meritri. Sometimes the quality of Meritorius's paper is similar to that of O or F, and it is an obvious advantage to write a good paper in a good format at this time. You can look at the excellent papers over the years, some of which are not particularly brilliant, but they are clearly organized and well written in language.

2. The basic paragraph is of little reference value. I mean models in basic books such as mathematical modeling. It's not that it's completely useless, but the real topic will be much more complicated than the topic in the book, and there will be many more factors to consider, and you won't think of what model to use before you see the topic, so if you spend too much time studying the most basic modeling, you will have the problem of not knowing what model to use after the topic comes out.

3. Research is the most useful! It is precisely because the modeling direction can be determined after the topic is selected, so it is very helpful to do research after the topic is determined. Referring to some papers in related disciplines, you may have unexpected ideas or professional models. For example, in the course of MCMB 20 13 titled Water Resources, we consulted many related papers while doing it. In addition to the most basic regression, linear gauge and graph theory model, fuzzy analysis in water resources value model, water cycle model of biosphere, cost estimation of seawater desalination, these things are all learned by looking up data.

4. Be sure to have a clear division of labor. The best combination is a modeling+a programming+a writing paper. Programming strongly recommends matlab. In fact, the most relaxed person in the end should be the modeler, because many programs still need to be run in the process of modeling, which has little to do with modeling ... What modelers need to do most is to investigate and then try to put these existing models into the topic properly. In fact, it is difficult to build a better model than professionals at our current level, so it is most reliable to cash in a model. Early programmers and thesis writers should be mainly responsible for data search, which is a heavy workload. The author of the paper should have a good rest a few days ago (the introduction can be written off first), because he will be very busy later. It is best for three people to cooperate well. After building a paragraph and writing a paragraph, there won't be anything wrong with one of them for the time being.

Don't delay. Although the productivity before the deadline is the greatest, many things are easy to rush because of the tight time. Like many people around me, they will play games and talk about something two days before the game, but it is actually a waste of time. Our group was very cooperative at that time, and finished the whole paper one day in advance and submitted it directly. We are very sorry about this, because after the submission, we remembered that we had omitted to make the reservoir storage model. If we make good use of these 24 hours, maybe the prize will be better. This shows that time is still very important.
