On April 24, results of 2021 Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM) were announced. Students of Guangzhou City University of Technology (GCUT) achieved fruitful results, including 3 Meritorious Winners, 4 Honorable Mentions and 21 Successful Participants. The number of awards at different levels is increasing compared with previous years, demonstrating academic knowledge and practical skills of GCUT’s students.
During the competition, the School of Computer Engineering, the School of Big Data Engineering and their students deliberated on it. Its mathematical modeling team and related departments pulled together to organize online training and experience sharing with teachers and students who won awards at the competition in previous years. After selection, students who were finalized took an active part in group discussions, completed the competition starting from problem selection, analysis, modeling, solution, argument to the translation of its English version. They fulfilled the tasks and achieved outstanding results.
In recent years, GCUT has achieved fruitful results in the MCM and ICM, which is closely related to its goal of cultivating applied-orientation talents. GCUT thinks highly of the role of scientific and technological innovation activities in talents cultivation. Therefore, every discipline competition team strives for exploration and innovation, further advancing the belief that “learning from competitions while promoting application through learning”, which enables the university to come back with fruitful results.
It is known that the MCM and ICM serve as the most authoritative international competition and the most influential mathematical modeling competition worldwide. Over 26,000 teams participated in the competition this year. It requires that 3 undergraduates form a group, who need to finish the task including modeling, solution, argument and English writing within 4 days. Such process aims test participants’ ability to research and problem-solving as well as their teamwork spirit.
