This book is a guidance book to guide college students to prepare for mathematical modeling competitions in an all-round way. It introduces the background knowledge of mathematical modeling and related competitions from multiple perspectives; answers common questions about mathematical modeling competitions according to the entry process; introduces commonly used software in mathematical modeling competitions; explains commonly used models in mathematical modeling; selects typical competition questions for detailed explanations; invites award-winning students and instructors to share successful experiences; and introduces websites commonly used in mathematical modeling competitions. When answering common questions in mathematical modeling competitions, this book not only answers questions such as team formation, pre-competition preparation and time arrangement, but also answers related issues such as literature retrieval, paper writing and paper formatting, aiming to give readers a very clear understanding of the entire process of mathematical modeling. This book not only introduces the methods commonly used in mathematical modeling competitions over the years, analyzes related competition questions, but also explains the implemented program codes in detail, allowing students to truly apply what they have learned instead of just talking on paper. This book also invites award-winning teams and outstanding instructors to share their successful experiences in the competition from different perspectives, providing reference for participating students and teachers from different perspectives. This book is a revised version of the "Guide to College Students' Mathematical Modeling Competition". Based on the original version, the models, competition information and competition cases have been updated.
Reader comments
This book is so practical! For a courier like me who runs around the city, mathematical modeling seems far away from me, but after reading this book, I realized that it is actually in our lives. Moreover, this book is rich in content. It not only contains theoretical knowledge, but also practical cases and experience sharing. It feels like having a teacher guiding you. I plan to recommend this book to my nephew who is in college and hope he can do well in the competition.
A very good book, very practical and explained in detail
