Students’ Problem-Solving Recognized in International Modeling Contest

Eleven students from the University of Florida College of Liberal Arts and Sciences put their problem-solving skills — and their teamwork — to the test in an international math modeling competition.

Hosted by the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP), the contest challenged students to devise solutions to real-world problems in 96 hours. Two UF teams faced more than 10,000 other groups in the 37th annual Mathematics Contest in Modeling (MCM), while another two teams were among more than 16,000 in the 23rd annual Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM).

Congratulations to the students who were recognized for their solutions.
