The 2016 MCM/ICM was held online from January 29 to February 2, attracting 12,446 teams from twelve countries, including the USA, Canada, Finland, the UK and Australia. Nearly 40, 000 students from world renowned universities such as U.C. Berkeley, Cambridge University, Tsinghua University and Beijing University participated in the contest. Only 2%, or 27 teams, won the grand prizes.
There are two categories of the competition: Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM). Each team would select a problem and solve it within four days. Contestants would build a mathematical model and write a paper clarifying the problem, hypothesis, mathematical model construction, software, testing, improvement, strengths and weaknesses of the model, as well as the application of the model.
MCM/ICM was started in 1985 by the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP). It is the only international mathematical modeling contest of its kind and regarded as the Olympic Game of mathematical modeling. It has become the most famous international collegial contest and has been attracting increasingly more college contestants throughout the world. Since 2012, more and more teams from JI’s Innovation Club have participated in the contests and have recorded outstanding performances, having won a total of 17 first prizes and 37 second prizes.
