MATH 27902 - Modeling Contest Seminar

Course Credit: .125
MODELING CONTEST SEMINAR This course is centered around participation in the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) or concurrent Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM), international applied mathematics competitions involving tens of thousands of undergraduate teams from around the world. Students will prepare for, participate in, and reflect upon their experiences from, the MCM/ICM contest. During the 99-hour competition, each three-person team will choose one of the open-ended problems, research the phenomenon, build a model, determine conclusions, and write a technical paper summarizing the results.
