In this paper, the network resources, modeling personal experience, and from a series of books, welcome discussion and consultation
The importance of the US-writing competition
As the United States to submit the code does not match, do good and write good or bad is entirely up to you the possibility of winning the prize.
The event required to submit a summary in English and papers, as the sole basis for the award, which requires participating students is necessary to have good mathematical modeling capabilities, but also need to have good command of English writing skills and proficiency in English Thesis Writing skill. Most of the participating students have participated in the National Mathematical Contest in Modeling and made more excellent results, with higher levels of mathematical modeling and modeling of Chinese paper writing experience, but it is often limited to the use of unskilled English, write English papers is not perfect, if not accurately set forth the ideas and algorithms modeling, computational modeling of major or inaccurate interpretation process, in particular a summary of the paper is not enough refining precise, clear narrative, too strong a word, language is not fine is derived burdensome and so on, which led to not get high-level awards. Some scholars writing English papers is defined as: "An English writing correct attitude and a wealth of academic knowledge, master the basic skills and strategies for the future with the development of academic writing in English, can create the ability to meet the expectations of academic discourse community work . " Some scholars believe that academic writing in English "language skills, social language and cultural contrast capabilities, a comprehensive reflection of communication strategies such as the use capability and the ability to build various chapters ability." Modeling papers written training beauty competition, not only for students to apply mathematical knowledge to solve practical problems of the exercise, but also a basic training in academic writing, but also to lay a good foundation for future research.
US race Writing Notes
- Abstract is very important ! ! ! Very important. I know of moderation who are often take a minute to look at a summary and then decide whether or not to continue to look down, sometimes badly written summary will be directly give up! I have a classmate country race took two years the United States has somehow overturned, he later review summary found that writing is very bad
- Title of the article should be as specific as possible, not to make mistakes in grammar title syntax error is simply a disaster, experiencing a 10% probability moderation native people you hang directly
- Simple tenses
only three tenses! ! !
Writing mathematical papers should be used as much as possible tenses simple principles include:
(1) the occurrence of the current use of the present tense;
(2) used in the past generally occur when the past;
(3) general use in the future is going to happen. - The main argument written in the first paragraph, the newly defined concept should be bold
but avoid bold throughout - Every time does not require the same
is likely to last year's good form this year is the illegal operations, remember to see the requirements
Highlights of writing each section
Each of the following section is not necessary to write, you can, but most of the winning papers are the routine according to their actual situation.
Summary
Abstract is the most important paper format, as Home page summary, the trial by summary paper is divided into 369 portions of the article and so on.
1. The contest problems restated and clarified: in their own words to describe the problem to be solved
2. Explain assumptions and its rationality: emphasis on modeling assumptions used, and clearly set out the relevant variables modeling
3. Models design and rational proof: Suppose noted modeling used, and lists all the variables needed to clearly modeling
4. where the model and describing the test sensitivity analysis: error analysis comprises detecting the like items.
The method comprising the model and solving advantages and disadvantages: The advantages and disadvantages discussed
Reiteration
Do not repeat the problem to copy the title! Do not copy a word. To figure out the purpose of your question restatement is to introduce you to the judges you is how to understand this problem and where to start, so to focus on their own terms of expansion. For example, the topic of the environmental impact of xxx. I focused on the cultural aspects of the discussion, the question which we must consciously restated to rely on culture.
The concept statement, definitions of terms
Definitions of terms must use the form of a table
as far as possible formula recurring are listed here, usually I would choose 70%. The remaining interspersed in the text, inline formulas 5-6, 1-3 publishing interbank formula is the most professional .
The sentence contains symbols, not the beginning of a symbol. The amount of explanation is necessary, even if a little repetitive it does not matter, because your readers may not be able to remember the previous.
All assumptions and reasonableness of assumptions
Must remember that, no matter how obvious any assumptions have to get it! ! !
The assumption of rationality is the key Sometimes we deliberately say something rather strange assumption (This is because we want a better, stronger interpretive result), but we can circle back later, thanks to the reasonableness of the assumptions here insisted.
This is called playing hard, more suitable for a thesis topic to see that everyone's basic answer is the same, that they want to come up with a different interpretation of model results situation
Model uses
Design Model: a mathematical model to solve the problem, does not require too much explanation, should follow the model from simple principles. If the literature review found that today already have a suitable models only require some modification or expansion can solve the problem, should make full use of existing models.
Model is a tool rather than a result, in general, the model can achieve their goals, the most simple is best.
Series model, some teams will establish a series of ultra-simple model hoping to score, but the assessment does not like. Do not build from scratch, because of lack of time. It should not be only for the conditions given in the title race to design model, should the title match as a special case of the general problem, first discuss the general problem of interpretation, and then give us the answers to the title match this particular case.
Popular point is that already have full use of the model, make their own verification and tinkering, small amount of innovation, is not to be a model from scratch
Model uses reason, the process
Generally this process I will first say why use this model (because the other is not good), as well as parameter adjustment process and result is great, and so on.
Model results
Whether this one or a series of proposed model can effectively solve the problem
US core race, all aspects of the chart must do, either matlab or Python, map must look better, the better.
Stability Test
Sensitivity analysis and error analysis, making the model more persuasive when discussing parameters of time, the impact on the model. In describing the findings should enable readers to identify possible answer papers given real data from the test should be used as much as possible.
For high-level papers, it not only for the design of model parameter values given in the title race, small changes in parameters should not have a big impact on the model results.
This is also very important part of a chart
Advantages and disadvantages
Do not conceal defects, have boldly say it, unless you are modeling when he himself did not know where to find out is to do a fake watered this you can not mention the other you normally raised enough
Outlook
US quite value this season, mostly from the social, cultural, economic and political point of view tend to have a strong overstating sex, but busted too far
to sum up
If you really do not know how to write
There are many ready-made sentences, copy it
Some small tips, not to fall into the pit
-
Known as the "we" We refer to your readers, you lead a reader.
-
Use present tense. Have read for the past, the future is not read. Previous work style with the past.
-
Use the active voice, the active voice is more active than the passive voice. Especially Chinese students to pay attention.
-
用简单的句子：不好：the value of the parameter
y， which was used in the previous section to determine the height of
the building, can also be used to determine its width. 好：In the
previous section, we used the value of the parameter y to determine
the height of the building. We can also use y to determine the width
of the building. -
The more specific the better short paragraph the word. Too details of things not to mention the key words highlighted jargon word let alone the
-
Verbs better than nouns.
-
Can not be omitted in that: We assume that ... / We suppose that ... the same concept with the same meaning sentence
-
Do something different expressions with the same word
-
Do not fancy emphasis on results,
-
Do not use an exclamation point
-
Do not use Firstly
Written in the last
For younger students, the most important and most important thing is to stick to it, and a good learning one paper. Copy ten thousand tigers, and let you draw a cat, it should still be no big problem. When studying the paper, you will be forced to yourself to find information, check books, re-implement the program, learning new software. In fact, at the end, you enhance their self-learning ability, but also know this game black or white routine, the final game skills and experience belongs only to you.
I hope we can award, live Shaohua
