About MATHmodels

Mathmodels is COMAP’s new modeling forum. On this site, students and faculty will find a wide range of interesting contemporary modeling problems. Teachers can assign problems. Students can choose to work on problems based on math topic and application area. But most importantly, COMAP has enlisted academics and practitioners to work with you — whether you are a teacher, a student, or a team of students.

These mentors will read and react to your solutions or partial solutions. They will give hints, if appropriate, and tell you if you are on the right track. They are there to help. In many cases, you will be talking with the author of the problem. In all cases, you will be dealing with people with expertise in modeling, who often work on these problems for a living.
