I have won 5 first prizes in modeling competitions including the O-Award of Meisai (sophomore year), and I have done mathematical modeling training courses. I will share how to prepare for Meisai from the following aspects:
• Introduction to American College Students' Mathematical Contest in Modeling
•Preparation for American College Students' Mathematical Modeling Contest
•Schedule of American College Students' Mathematical Contest in Modeling
1. Introduction to the
American College Student Mathematical Contest in Modeling The American College Student Mathematical Contest in Modeling is currently divided into two types, MCM (Mathematical Contest In Modeling) and ICM (Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling). The two types of competitions are conducted using a unified standard. After they came out, the participating teams selected the questions through the official website of Meisai, which was divided into 6 question types. They are: continuous, discrete, big data, operations research/network science, environmental science, and policy. Among them, the award setting and the proportion of awards are: Outstanding Winner 0.14%, Finalist 0.17%, Meritorious Winner 7%, and Honorable Mentioned 15%. The prize for successful participation is also called the third prize (Successful Participant). Time: 2020•February 14th-February 18th
2. Preparing for the American College Student Mathematical Contest in Modeling It
is actually unnecessary to list it. You don't need to master too much software. List a few commonly used software for everyone. I believe that after mastering it, there is no problem at least getting the m award. The first is the familiar writing software: Word, WPS, latex. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t use latex. Word can be used instead, and the effect will not be much worse. The second is the programming software: Matlab, in fact, mastering a matlab is completely enough, of course, the more you learn, the better, but the problem with this is that it is difficult to specialize. Others like Python, lingo, etc. Formula editor: Mathtype. This must be there! ! ! Do not use the built-in formula editor in Word to write. Drawing: Visio, Edraw. Other commonly used economics are like: spss, SAS, Eviews, stata, of course the more the better.
Related book recommendations: People who made a large list of books have probably not read most of the books themselves. I remembered that when I was new to modeling, I bought a bunch of books according to the online recommended book list, but in fact, many books are not very good. Well, secondly, because there are so many commonly used models in mathematical modeling, most books are copying each other, which is really unnecessary. It is recommended to everyone based on the principle of simplification that is most beneficial to everyone: the two most classic: "Mathematical Modeling" Jiang Qiyuan, "Mathematical Modeling Algorithms and Applications" Si Shoukui, these two are definitely enough.
3. Time schedule I
just mentioned that the 2020 game time is from February 14th to February 18th, so everyone can use this abundant time to make relevant preparations. This article will state from the pre-match and during the match: First, before the match : It must be to find good teammates. This is very intriguing. Fortunately, it not only represents strong strength, but also has an optimistic and positive attitude and does not give up, so as to complete these four days. In these four days, everyone will encounter various problems, and every team will encounter them. If you can stand loneliness, you will get an excellent result if you do your best. Secondly, you must install the relevant necessary software in advance, learn related mathematical models, organize some necessary materials, and then read excellent papers, learn writing methods, typesetting, and so on.
Competition time: First of all, it is the topic selection. The topic selection is very important. The Meisai is different from the national competition. It provides a very wide range of question types for everyone to choose. However, the problems caused by this are difficult to choose. It is recommended that you determine the direction before the competition. , So as to save a lot of time in the topic selection of the competition to do the next step. During this period, do not change the question, all the teams will encounter the problem, and you will be patient to overcome each difficulty and you will eventually succeed. Next is the essay writing part: it is very important to emphasize that the picture is good! ! ! The Americans used to make judgments at Meisai, but the Americans found that they could not read the papers written by the Chinese, so they hired a Chinese professor (listen to what the teacher said). . . When playing a game, you definitely need a lot of information on the Internet: such as previous research results, papers, procedures, data and so on. The last is translation. Everyone try to leave one day for the translation, typesetting, and adjustment and inspection of the details of the paper.
