Contest Rules, Registration and Instructions

(All rules and instructions apply to both ICM and MCM contests.)

To participate in a contest, each team may consist of a maximum of three students and must be sponsored by a faculty advisor from its institution.
每个队最多三名学生，而且必须在本校中选择一名指导老师

Team Members: A team may consist of up to three students from the same school and is open to all undergraduate and high school students.

Team Advisors: Any faculty, staff member, or student at your institution can fulfill the role of Advisor. The advisor will act as the main point of contact for the team, and does not have to be from the mathematics department. We do however encourage faculty members to serve as team advisors.

If you cannot access any of the sites, there may be a problem with your local Internet connection. Contact your local Internet service provider to resolve the issue.
美国东部时间2018年2月8日星期四下午4点50发题的网站，不需要密码就可以登录。

B. Choose a problem:
Each team may choose any one of the six problem choices and should submit a solution to only one problem.
• MCM problems are Problem A, Problem B or Problem C.
• ICM problems are Problem D, Problem E or Problem F.

C. Teams prepare solutions:
1.Teams may use any inanimate source of data or materials: computers, software, references, web sites, books, etc. ALL SOURCES USED MUST BE CREDITED. Failure to credit a source will result in a team being disqualified from the competition.
1.队伍可以使用所有无机资料，但必须如实标明出处。
2.Team members may not seek help from or discuss the problem with their advisor or anyone else, except other members of the same team. Input in any form from anyone other than student team members is strictly forbidden. This includes email, telephone contact, and personal conversation, communication via web chat or other question-answer systems, or any other form of communication.
2.不准和他人交流。
3.Partial solutions are acceptable. There is no passing or failing cut-off score, and numerical scores will not be assigned. The MCM/ICM contest judges are primarily interested in the team’s approach and methods.
3.没全部完成没有关系，没有对完成度划界，分数不会仅仅因为没完成而减少。主要看的是方法和思路。
4.Summary Sheet: The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICM paper. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary.
4.Summary Sheet:裁判很中意摘要写得好的队伍。
To write a good summary, imagine that a reader will choose whether to read the body of the paper based on your summary: Your concise presentation in the summary should inspire a reader to learn about the details of your work. Thus, a summary should clearly describe your approach to the problem and, most prominently, your most important conclusions. Summaries that are mere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.
要想写好摘要，要站在读者的角度，摘要写得好才有兴趣接着读正文。简明的称述，清楚的思路和方法，最重要的是要给出主要结论。仅仅重述问题或者直接从引言中复制粘贴过来是不行的。
Besides the summary sheet as described each paper should contain the following sections:
summary sheet需要包含以下内容：

• Restatement and clarification of the problem: State in your own words what you are going to do.
  重述和澄清问题
• Explain assumptions and rationale/justification: Emphasize the assumptions that bear on the problem. Clearly list all variables used in your model.
  模型假设和基本原理
• Include your model design and justification for type model used or developed.
  包含模型设计和理由的类型（可能是指模型的类型是什么）
• Describe model testing and sensitivity analysis, including error analysis, etc.
  描述模型检验和敏感型分析，包括误差分析等等
• Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your model or approach.
  讨论模型的优缺点
  5.The judges will evaluate the quality of your writing in the Solution Paper:
  5.裁判的评分点：
  · Conciseness and organization are extremely important.
  简明，有组织有逻辑
  · Key statements should present major ideas and results.
  关键语句需要给出主要意见和结果
  · Present a clarification or restatement of the problem, as appropriate.
  恰当地给出问题重述和澄清
  · Present a clear exposition of all variables, assumptions, and hypotheses.
  清晰的变量符号说明和假设
  · Present an analysis of the problem, including the motivation or justification for the model that is used.
  问题分析，包括采用某种模型的理由
  · Include a design of the model.
  模型设计
  · Discuss how the model could be tested, including error analysis and stability (conditioning, sensitivity, etc.).
  讨论模型的测试，包括方差分析，稳定性分析，条件，敏感型分析
  · Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses in your model or approach.
  讨论模型的优缺点
  6.Papers must be typed in English, with a readable font of at least 12 point type.
  6.必须用英文写作，字体大小至少12号。
  7.The solution must consist entirely of written text, and possibly figures, charts, or other written material only. No non-paper support materials such as computer files or software will be accepted.

• MCM Awards (Problem A, B and C)
• The Ben Fusaro Award will be accorded to an especially creative paper and will be chosen from the contest finalists.
• The Frank R. Giordano Award began in 2012. It honors Brig. Gen. (ret) Frank Giordano who directed the MCM for 20 years. This award goes to a paper that demonstrates true excellence in the execution of the modeling process.
• ICM Awards (Problem D, E and F)
• The Leonhard Euler Award is presented to a team selected by the head judge of the ICM's Problem D. The criteria are: 1) a paper in the Meritorious/Finalist/Outstanding rating; 2) contains especially creative and innovative modeling; and 3) shows good understanding of interdisciplinary science. The award honors the name of a 18th-century Swiss applied mathematician, who was known for the breadth of his research applications, volume of written work, excellent teaching, and interdisciplinarity.
• The Rachel Carson Award honors an American conservationist whose book "Silent Spring" initiated the global environmental movement and whose work spanned many disciplines concerned with the local and global environments. This award is presented to a team selected by the Head Judge of ICM Problem E for excellence in using scientific theory and data in its modeling.
• Vilfredo Pareto was an Italian scholar, modeler and problem solver, who at various times was an engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, mathematician, and philosopher. He lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The ICM Pareto Award for outstanding modeling in the Policy Modeling problem (ICM Problem F) honors the work and legacy of this famous social science problem solver. In particular for this award, the head judge seeks to highlight a paper that best models the more dynamic and challenging contextual human elements that make simplification or refinement of policy models so difficult.

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is the largest society in the world for professionals in the field of operations research (OR), management science (MS), and analytics. INFORMS has long recognized the importance of involving undergraduate students and faculty in an unscripted process of mathematical modeling whose problems contain many of the modern elements seen by its membership. The MCM/ICM exemplifies these characteristics. Consequently, INFORMS has been an active supporter of the MCM/ICM since its inception.

INFORMS carefully selects and designates a single Outstanding team from each of the six problems - A, B, C, D, E, F - as an INFORMS Outstanding winning team whose modeling and analyses best exemplify the style and content reflected in its membership's professional practice. Each student receives a letter of congratulations from the current INFORMS President and a complimentary one-year INFORMS student membership. Each associated faculty advisor receives a letter of congratulations and appreciation from the current INFORMS President, along with complimentary one-year access to the full suite of award-winning INFORMS journals.

[图片上传失败...(image-de9f9e-1515768075959)]
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) will designate one Outstanding team from MCM Problems A and B as a SIAM winner. Each student member of the winning team will receive a cash award of $500 and three one-year student memberships in SIAM. A certificate for the home institutions will be given to the faculty advisers of the winning teams.

[图片上传失败...(image-d72a20-1515768075959)]
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) will designate two Outstanding teams from the MCM as a MAA winners. Each student member of the winning team will receive a certificate. MAA will partial reimburse teams travel expenses to Math Fest so that they may present their paper.
