College-Level: Mathematical Contest in Modeling

The MCM is an international contest that challenges teams of students to clarify, analyze, and propose solutions to open-ended problems. Teams of 3 students prepare a carefully written solution to one of three problems over the course of a weekend in the spring semester. Solutions are submitted to the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP) for judging.
