will compete this Friday through Monday in the national
Mathematical Contest in Modeling
organized by the Consortium for Mathematics and Its
Applications (COMAP) and sponsored by the National
Security Agency (NSA), the
Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS), the
Mathematical Association of America (MAA), and the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM). See http://www.comap.com/undergraduate/contests/mcm/
for further information. Here
is the problem they will tackle.
These students will bring all the skills that they have learned in their mathematics
and computer science courses to analyze a very challenging open-ended problem in
applied mathematics. They have from midnight on Friday morning until midnight on
Tuesday morning to work on the problem.
Make sure you cheer them on if you see
them hard at work
this weekend!
