MCM 2007 -- The Mathematical Contest in Modeling

MCM is a contest where teams of undergraduates use mathematical modeling
to present their solutions to real world problem. This contest challenges
participants to clarify, analyze, and propose solutions to open-ended
problems. It has attracted diverse students and faculty advisors from over
500 institutions around the world.  The MCM will take place February
8--12, 2007. Any student currently enrolled in a four-year institution can
participate. To participate in MCM, a team of at most three members must
be formed and sponsored by a faculty advisor from their institution. The
MCM contest allows up to four teams per institution, with a maximum of two
teams per department. Each team that participated successfully will receive
a certificate of participation after the results have been issued. For

who successfully participated in the past MCMs and performed pretty well.
