The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP) is preparing to launch the 2025 Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)® and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM)®.
The contest will take place January 23 - 27, 2025. Registration will open soon.
MCM/ICM are international contests for high school students and college undergraduates, challenging teams of up to three students to analyze, model, solve, and present solution reports to an open-ended application problem. Research, analytics, and applied intelligence reign along with less-quantifiable factors like timing and luck. Are you and your team up to it?
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 interpersonal skills through teamwork, develop technical writing and communication skills through a 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.
Schools enjoy the recognition and prestige of being part of COMAP's annual international modeling contest event. COMAP publishes a press release of the annual contest results that lists advisors, schools, school locations, and awards. Contest participation indicates the school’s support of students’ meaningful application of topics studied in the classroom in preparation for addressing a variety of problems in the real-world. The contest can provide impetus and justification for developing more applied courses and for integrating modeling into current courses.
