Recently, the results of Mathematical Contest in Modeling/ Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (MCM/ICM) have been announced. IMU won 2 Meritorious Winner awards and 5 Honorable Mention awards.

MCM/ICM is one of the most known international contests for college students and the top mathematical contest in modeling. The contest questions are regarding such fields as economy, management, environment, resources, ecology, medicine and security. The contests are divided into MCM and ICM. Every contest has 3 questions and contest teams can choose among them. There are 26112 teams from China, the United States, Australia, Canada, Britain and other countries and regions that participated in the contests.

   MCM/ICM is the important way to cultivate students in innovation. To improve the contest performance, IMU authorities have given the special support to its team and provided the team with intensive training and hugely improved its contestants’ capacity and level for mathematical application. With the conceited efforts of IMU authorities and the advisers of the association concerned, the IMU team has made the great success in the contest. The IMU contestants found their weaknesses and got rid of them during the contests. It is believed that IMU team will make better achievements in MCM/ICM with the support of the School of Mathematical Sciences, the guidance of the supervisors and the efforts of contestants.
