Enter the Math Modeling Competition!

You could be a member of one of our teams for next year's international Mathematical Contest in Modeling! Think of the benefits: The competition takes place over a weekend early in February. You'll need to decide whether you want to participate in the contest by the end of January.

More About the Contest

The Mathematical Contest in Modeling, challenges teams of students to clarify, analyze, and propose solutions to open-ended problems. The contest attracts diverse students and faculty advisors from over 200 institutions around the world. Features of the contest include:

Teams entering the Mathematical Contest in Modeling will choose one of two modeling problems: Problem A (continuous), Problem B (discrete).

Sample problems are available from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

There are many excellent resources about the contest and undergraduate modeling, including:
