Mathematical modeling competition opportunity for undergraduate students!!!

The UC Merced Applied Math department could cover registration of interested teams! Let us know if you are interested! Registration opens on 1 August 2018.

Below is a short description of this competition. For more info, please check out the competition website: https://www.simiode.org/scudem/scudem-iii-2018-competition

The interested undergraduate student team (3 students per team) challenge takes place over a week-long period that begins on Friday, 19 October 2018, at each team’s individual home campus and culminates on Saturday, 27 October 2018, at a regional host site. Beginning on Friday, 19 October 2018, three member student teams can access three modeling scenarios involving differential equations, posted at our SIMIODE website. They select one on which to work. These teams will work at their home institution, developing approaches and solutions to their chosen modeling scenario. The scenarios are designed so that every team may experience success in modeling, building their skills and confidence in differential equations. Each team will prepare a draft Executive Summary and 10 minute Presentation to bring to the regional host site on Challenge Saturday, 27 October 2018.
