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).
