The full name of the American Contest is called the American College Mathematical Modeling Contest (MCM/ICM, which stands for Mathematical Contest In Modeling and Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling, which are two different types of contests), sponsored by the American Association for Mathematics and its Applications, is the International Mathematical Modeling Contest and the most influential mathematical modeling contest in the world. The MCM/ICM is the abbreviation for Mathematical Contest In Modeling and Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling, which are two different types of contests.

The competition covers a wide range of fields, including economics, management, environment, resources, ecology, medicine, security, and future technologies.

The competition requires a group of three (undergraduate students) to complete all the work from modeling, solving, verifying to paper writing on a specified problem in four days, which reflects the competitors' ability to study the problem, solve the solution, and the spirit of teamwork.

Related Notes

The MCM/ICM is the granddaddy of all mathematical modeling competitions. MCM/ICM stands for Mathematical Contest In Modeling and Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling, and MCM started in 1985 and ICM started in 2000 by COMAP (the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Application). MCM began in 1985 and ICM began in 2000, organized by COMAP (the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Application) and sponsored by SIAM, NSA, INFORMS, and many other organizations.

MCM/ICM emphasizes originality of research and solutions, teamwork, communication, and soundness of results.?
