MLWGS Achieves Great Success in Math Modeling Competition

Posted on

This year MLWGS had four teams recognized as ‘Finalist’ in the HiMCM math modeling contest.  The Finalist designation puts those four teams in the top 8% of the 938 teams competing worldwide giving us the best results that we’ve had in five years. 

In this year’s competition teams chose either to tackle a problem coordinating a cluster of 500 drones or a problem developing a ski resort based on a topographic map.  Teams were given 36 hours to write papers detailing their approach to their chosen problem.  A day-and-a-half’s worth of exhausting effort resulted in papers that averaged around 15 pages in length.  Thanks go out to all twelve of the teams that participated.

The four Finalist teams were:

Team 7946:         Eric Campbell, Isabella Dula, Daniel Hall, Anuj Kotak

Team 7938:         Evan Donnellan, Will Larson, Tyler Stromberg, Nathan Taminger

Team 7939:         Angela Chen, Lauren Hall, Hannah Lee, Abigail Olson

Team 7937:         Veronika Matysiak, Taha Shaikh, Yashodhara Varma

Congratulations to all our teams and their sponsor, Mr. Benesh.
