A total of 2,254 teams of undergraduates from hundreds of institutions and
departments in 14 countries, spent a weekend in February working on applied
mathematicsproblems inthe 26thMathematicalContest inModeling(MCM)!R .
The 2010MCMbegan at 8:00 P.M. EST on Thursday, February 18, and ended
at 8:00 P.M. EST on Monday, February 22. During that time, teams of up to
three undergraduates researched, modeled, and submitted a solution to one
of two open-ended modeling problems. Students registered, obtained contest
materials, downloaded the problem and data, and entered completion data
through COMAP’s MCM Website. After a weekend of hard work, solution
papers were sent to COMAP on Monday. Two of the top papers appear in this
issue of The UMAP Journal, together with commentaries.
