17th Annual High School Mathematical Modeling Contest
The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP) is pleased to announce the results of the Seventeenth Annual
High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM).
A total of 671 teams, with up to 4 students each, from 151 schools, competed. All teams worked at their own schools
during a designated 36-hour period between October 31st and November 17th, 2014. 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
