As the oldest mathematical contest in modeling, the MCM attracts a large number of college students from all over the world every year. Participating students have to choose one of the six questions, use four days to build a model through analysis, solve it with the help of scientific computing software, and submit a modeling paper. The questions of MCM mainly come from practical problems in engineering, management, environment, ecology and other fields, and the MCM prizes include Outstanding, Finalist, Meritorious Winner, Honorable Mention and Successful Participant.
