Introduction to HiMCM

The High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM) is an international mathematical competition sponsored by the Consortium for Mathematics and its Application (COMAP), with extensive international influence in the world. It is the 21^st time to hold the HiMCM this year. Compared with other international and domestic mathematical contest in modeling, HiMCM has higher recognition and more intense competition.

In the contest, the participating teams (limited to 4 students) are required to use mathematical modeling, programming and other methods to establish a mathematical model to solve practical problems, and finally complete a nearly 30-page paper in English. All must be completed within 36 hours.
