美國大學生數學建模競賽

美國數學及其應用聯合會主辦

美國大學生數學建模競賽(MCM/ICM)由美國數學及其應用聯合會主辦,是唯一的國際性數學建模競賽,也是世界範圍內最具影響力的數學建模競賽。賽題內容涉及經濟、管理、環境、資源、生態、醫學、安全、等眾多領域。競賽要求三人(本科生)為一組,在四天時間內,就指定的問題完成從建立模型、求解、驗證到論文撰寫的全部工作,體現了參賽選手研究問題、解決方案的能力及團隊合作精神。為現今各類數學建模競賽之鼻祖。

MCM/ICM 是 Mathematical Contest In Modeling 和 Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling 的縮寫。MCM 始於 1985 年,ICM 始於 1999 年,由 COMAP(the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Application,美國數學及其應用聯合會)主辦,得到了 SIAM,NSA,INFORMS 等多個組織的贊助。MCM/ICM 著重強調研究和解決方案的原創性、團隊合作、交流及結果的合理性。

2019年,共有來自美國、中國、加拿大、英國、澳大利亞等17個國家和地區共25370支隊伍參加,包括來自哈佛大學普林斯頓大學麻省理工學院清華大學北京大學上海交通大學等國際知名高校學生參與此項賽事角逐。

2020年,來自美國、澳大利亞、加拿大、英國、印度等多個國家與地區包括劍橋大學等眾多高校在內的20948支隊伍(MCM 13749支、ICM 7199支)參加,共評出Outstanding Winners獎37項(獲獎率約0.18%),冠名獎16項(獲獎率約0.07%)。

比賽時間


美國大學生數學建模競賽每年的比賽時間一般定在二月初,需要通過官方網站報名,而且需要有固定的指導教師。一般各大高校均會組織感興趣的同學進行賽前培訓以及報名、交費等事宜。
具體的比賽時間:
北京時間:2014年: 2月 7日 ——2月11日
北京時間:2015年:2月6日——2月10日
北京時間:2016年:1月29日——2月2日
北京時間:2017年:1月20日——1月24日
北京時間:2018年:2月9日——2月14日
北京時間:2019年:1月25日——1月29日
(比賽以美國東部時間為準,其比北京時間晚了大約13個小時,也就是北京時間2月6日早上九時,美國東部時間是2月5日晚八時)
其實每一年的時間應該是固定的,但是由於該大賽有來自世界各個國家的大學生參賽,故偶爾會因為某些事而更改時間。像2013年美國大學生數學建模競賽比賽時間起初安排在中國農曆年的大年初一至大年初五四天三夜。后經中國方面協商更改與中國農曆年小年左右。
