2021 Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)® and
2021 Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM)®
February 4-8, 2021

COMAP’s undergraduate contests in modeling, the MCM and the ICM, are international contests designed to provide students with the opportunity to work as team members to engage in and improve their modeling, problem-solving, and writing skills. Teams of up to three students from your institution apply mathematics to model and develop a solution to one of six real-world problems. This international contest is open to students of all disciplines and there is no limit on the number of teams any one institution can enter. Register for the contest at www.mcmcontest.org and follow us on Twitter @COMAPMath for up-to-date contest information. Contests can be administered live or virtually.
