Brief introduction of American college students' mathematical modeling competition

Sponsored by the American Federation of Mathematics and Its Applications, it is the highest level mathematical modeling competition in the world, and also the most influential mathematical modeling competition in the world, generally referred to as mathematical modeling competition. The content of the competition involves many fields such as economy, management, environment, resources, ecology, medicine and safety.

The competition requires 3 people (both undergraduate and graduate students can participate) to complete all the work from modeling, solving and verifying the specified problem to writing the paper within 4 days, which reflects the ability of the contestants to study problems and solutions and the spirit of teamwork. He is the originator of all kinds of mathematical modeling competitions today.

Competition question type

There are two kinds of mathematical modeling competitions for American college students, MCM (Mathematical Modeling Competition) and ICM. These two kinds of competitions have a unified standard. After the competition topics came out, the parameter team selected topics through official website and the United States, which were divided into six categories.

playtime

The annual competition time of American college students' mathematical modeling competition is generally set at the beginning of February, and it needs to be registered through official website, because the American competition registration needs to be paid in US dollars, and students who have no international payment ability can also complete the registration through the digital paradise platform. Generally, major colleges and universities will organize interested students to conduct pre-competition training, registration and payment.

In fact, the time should be fixed every year, but because there are college students from all over the world participating in the competition, the time will be changed occasionally because of something. For example, in 20 13, the mathematical modeling competition for American college students was originally scheduled for one day and three nights from Lunar New Year's Day to May 1st in China. After consultation with China, it was changed to around the Lunar New Year in China.
