The Mathematical Contest in Modeling is an international competition where teams of three undergraduates come up with ideas to solve real-world problems using mathematical modeling. The format of the competition is that teams have four consecutive days (February 6-10) to solve and write up a solution to one of three different problems. In this session, we will discuss an overview of the competition, tips for competing, forming teams, and mathematical tools. Teams should be well-rounded, interdisciplinary, and have members that can model, program, and write well. We will help people form teams at the session. We will also select one team to be the local MIT winner of the MCM who will win a grand prize of $300, lunch reception, and the title of MIT MCM winners. All courses are welcome and previous teams are encouraged to compete again! This session is not mandatory for participation but encouraged for newcomers.
