Turn theory into practice by entering COMAP's Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)®. This international modeling contest opportunity challenges high school and college undergraduate students to form, organize, and manage a team to model and solve a real-world application problem and submit an electronic solution report. In addition, this contest provides an experience in which students develop interpersonal skills through teamwork, develop technical writing and communication skills, feel a sense of accomplishment, and earn an impressive resume credential. Students and advisors report that participation and success in MCM provides an advantage when applying for internships and jobs.

The Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)®, an international contest for high school students and college undergraduates, challenges teams of students to analyze, model, solve, and present solution reports to an open-ended application problem. High School and Undergraduate students form teams of up to three members. Each team may choose and submit an electronic solution to one of the three problem choices: MCM Problem A (continuous), MCM Problem B (discrete), MCM Problem C (data insights).

A distinguished group of international educators and professionals read and judge all submissions. Judging occurs in March and April with results posted by early May. Levels of awards for all valid submissions are Successful Participant, Honorable Mention, Meritorious, Finalist, or Outstanding Winner. Submissions found to have rule or procedure violations, or extremely inadequate solution efforts may be designated as Disqualified or Unsuccessful.

This competition has not yet listed it's awards.

Eligibility:
The MCM is open to college undergraduate and high school students. A team may consist of up to three students currently enrolled in the same school/institution*. Students enrolled in any department or program at the school may participate. An advisor must complete the registration process for each team. Any faculty, staff member, or student at the team’s school can fulfill the role of Advisor. The advisor is the main point of contact for the team and may come from any department at the school. There is no limit to the number of teams a school may register, or an advisor may advise. *Note: For the purposes of participating in the MCM, a team's school or institution is the primary and comprehensive full-time provider for all the team members' education studies. Tutoring, test-prep, contest-prep, and math- or STEM-learning centers are not considered schools/institutions for the purposes of registering and competing in COMAP contests.

Registration Opens: September 1, 2023

Registration Closes: February 5, 2024
