The
Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP)
is pleased to announce the results of the Thirteenth Annual
High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM).
A total of 295 teams, with up to 4 students each, from
52 schools, competed. All teams worked at their own schools
during a designated 36-hour period between November 5th
and 22nd, 2010. 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
