During the last week-end of January 2025, for 100 hours straight, seventeen undergraduate students were part of six teams who participated in the COMAP's Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM) that was supported by the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.
The results are not yet out but all student teams worked hard all week-end long and we are proud of them!
The contests provide a challenge to solve a real-world application problem, and get recognition for it on an international stage. It's an excellent opportunity to develop your interpersonal skills through teamwork, develop technical writing and communication skills through your written report, feel a sense of accomplishment, and earn an impressive resume credential. Students and advisors report that participation and success in MCM/ICM provides an advantage when applying for internships and jobs.
