1. Introduction: The Mathematical Modeling Competition for American College Students, sponsored by the American Federation of Mathematics and Its Applications, is the highest-level mathematical modeling competition in the world and the most influential mathematical modeling competition in the world. The content of the competition involves many fields such as economy, management, environment, resources, ecology, medicine and safety. The competition requires a group of three people to complete all the work from modeling, solving, verifying to writing a paper within four days.
2. Development history: it is a completely open competition, and only a few practical problems from any field are unrestricted every year. Students take part in the competition in groups of three, choose a problem within four days, complete the whole process of mathematical modeling of practical problems, and write papers on the restatement and simplification of problems, the discussion of assumptions and their rationality, the establishment and solution of mathematical models, the inspection and improvement of models, the advantages and disadvantages of models and the self-evaluation of their possible application scope.
3. Time: The annual competition time of the Mathematical Modeling Competition for American College Students is generally set in early February, and you need to register through official website. Because the registration of the USA tournament needs to be paid in US dollars, students who have no international payment ability can also complete the registration through the digital paradise platform. Generally, major universities will organize interested students to conduct pre-competition training and charge registration fees.
