Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Contests

The SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling (SCUDEM) and the COMAP Mathematical/Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (MCM/ICM) are annual international mathematical modeling contests for teams of undergraduate students. Over the course of 1 weekend or 3 weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to solve a real-world modeling problem!
