16th Annual High School Mathematical Modeling Contest
The
Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP)
is pleased to announce the results of the Sixteenth Annual
High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM).
A total of 581 teams, with up to 4 students each, from
131 schools, competed. All teams worked at their own schools
during a designated 36-hour period between November 1st
and 18th, 2013. Each high school team chose from two modeling
problems offered and then constructed their solutions.
A
Complete Results Report,
with designations for all participants, is available in
portable document format
