M3 Challenge
M3 Challenge spotlights applied mathematics as a powerful problem-solving tool and as a viable and exciting profession. Participating students are encouraged to explore and bolster their mathematical modeling know-how to position themselves for success. The specific real-world problem that is posed each year is unknown to participants until they login during Challenge weekend. The Challenge is entirely Internet-based with no registration or participation fees. High schools in the U.S. may enter up to two teams of three to five junior and/or senior students.
The team advanced to the second round of judging and recieved the commendation letter below for their work. Congratulations girls!
Dear Coach Mayo and student members :
​
Of the 535 papers submitted in this year’s MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge, your team’s paper was one of 226 papers considered for the technical computing scholarship award. The code in your paper was read and analyzed by professional judges who scrutinized all the papers vying for technical computing awards. Although your team was not selected for a scholarship prize, the judges commend your efforts in the category of technical computing.
We respect and admire the teams that participated this year, especially in light of the pandemic fatigue we are all feeling. We look forward to seeing your school participate in M3 Challenge in the future.
Best regards,
MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge
