5.制胜点
纵观整篇论文，没完成的模型（论文引用）不少，编程总共就两个，一个人口增长，一个层次分析。但是我们有条理的解决了这个问题，并且排版相当美观，图表制作的非常好看。
我觉得美赛并不是考你有多少数学知识，或者编程多么牛逼，或者队员背景多么生猛。而是你们是否能够好好合作，理清解决问题的思路，并有条理的写出来。你不一定要数学好编程好，也不需要有庞大的知识储备，而是要会尽可能的找到你要的资料和数据，尽可能全面的思考问题，在可选范围内，挑你能做好的去做。网上资料那么多，只是看你会不会发掘利用。
比赛报名：提前准备好visa或master card，名字和地址不要写错；
作息：要看各队情况了，原则是保证效率、不打乱节奏。前期都很亢奋，但如果打乱节奏可能导致后面疲劳期时效率过低，其实美国赛截止时间并不是很严格，前期利用好亢奋期和每天的高效率时间的话，到了疲劳期还能继续坚持下去，否则就是给你再多时间都无法持续下去。对那些想尝试达芬奇睡眠法的同学，建议先在之前比赛和练习时充分适应，避免临时改变作息方式，打乱节奏，降低效率；引用：如果copy了整段的原始论文，一定要注明来源——07年就出过outstanding奖因为引用的问题被收回的事。这是原则问题，千万注意！邮寄论文：提前联系邮局/快递，确认好邮局每天邮寄时间，以倒推截止时间，事实上这么多时间，很少有人能用满——这给了慢热队伍一个优势，之前练习也应先关注深度和质量，再考虑速度和效率；之前比赛的时候，交完论文的几天别闲着，继续魔鬼训练——对做到极致的模型再完善深化，对论文结论再推广演绎，甚至
必须保证团队里每个人都有共同的愿景和强大的动力，否则内耗是迟早的事。
高手和好导师都是稀缺资源，下手越早收获可能越大，想找高手：
你必须也是个高手，至少某方面特长能给人信心；必须保证团队间能衷诚合作，互相鼓励/配合——这点与谈恋爱一样，要经一定时间的磨合和考验，才能看得清；保证每个人的弱点能有效弥补，即便是高手全才也不多，对其弱点如果没有合适的人弥补，结果可能还不如实力平均的队伍；要能顶得住本校其他队的竞争，比如挖人、争导师、抢机房等等——人才太多没办法，哎～

美赛6种题型及通关详解

所谓6种题型，提示了部分题目的内容，但如果作为选题依据，作用非常有限。

如果是为了更好的选题，搞清楚MCM与ICM的区别，可能更有帮助。

选哪道题不是特别重要，重要的是应该“尽快”选题。

竞赛时间是固定的，选题的时间越长，做题的时间越少。

选题多花1小时，意味着建模和写论文的时间就少了1小时。

能获什么奖主要看实力，其次看运气。

准备越充分，胜算越大。

如果不想碰运气的话，早点动手准备吧。

六种题型怎么理解首先，MCM/ICM（2016年起）每年共有6道题，不是6种题，MCM是ABC三题，ICM是DEF三题。

对6道题目类型的描述，不是严格的划分，角度和依据都不相同。

continuous和discrete是指模型的类型，data insights是指问题数据的特征，operations research/network science和environmental science是指问题涉及到的学科，而environmental science和policy又是指问题本身的背景。

这不是按照同一标准对题目进行划分，之间有重叠。

最显然的，如果认为continuous和discrete是互补的，那么其他4道题目应该可以分别归入其中某一类。

其次，这些一两个词的描述过于笼统、宽泛，无法体现题目的具体特征，特别是A、B、F 题的描述，提供的信息非常少，说了几乎等于没说。

continuous、discrete把所有的模型全包括了。

policy范围也太广，人类主宰世界，方方面面都可能涉及政策问题。

而且F题也是2016年新增加的，只有2016年一年的题目（难民问题），暂时还看不出来什么规律。

而C题和D题的特征相对具体一些。

比如，针对2016年起MCM新增加的C题，COMAP （Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications）专门发布了一份文档（中文简介）说明其特征。

概括起来，MCM的C题与数据有关，虽然称不上大数据，但压缩包也在100MB 以上，与MCM/ICM其他题目相比，数据量算是大的（实际上以往MCM/ICM的题目很少给数据），这就要求选这一题的参赛队要熟悉数据处理的基本方法，包括预处理、后处理等，并掌握相应的编程技能或是相关软件的使用方法。

View the contest problems via the contest web site:Teams can view the contest problems via the contest web site when the contest begins at 8PM EST on Thursday February 10, 2011:1.The contest problems will become available precisely at 8PM EST onThursday February 10, 2011; team members can view them by visiting/undergraduate/contests/mcm. No password willbe needed to view the problems; simply go to the contest web site at or after8PM EST on Thursday, February 10, 2010 and you will see a link to viewthe problems.2.If you cannot access our main web site at that time, go to our mirror site at/mcm or click here. If you cannot accesseither site, there may be a problem with your local Internet connection.Contact your local Internet service provider to resolve the issue.B. Choose a problem:Each team must choose one problem according to the following rules: •MCM teams must choose either Problem A or Problem B; an MCM team may submit a solution to only one of the problems. (MCM teamsshould NOT choose Problem C.)•ICM teams must choose Problem C. There is no choice for ICM teams.(ICM teams should NOT choose Problem A or Problem B.)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 beingdisqualified from the competition.2.Team members may not seek help from or discuss the problem with theiradvisor 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.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 judgesare primarily interested in the team’s approach and methods.4.Summary Sheet: The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICMpaper. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary.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 aremere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.Each Summary Sheet should include:∙Restatement and clarification of the problem: State in your own words what you are going to do.∙Explain assumptions and rationale/justification: Emphasize the assumptions that bear on the problem. Clearly list all variables used inyour model.∙Include your model design and justification for type model used or developed.∙Describe model testing and sensitivity analysis, including error analysis, etc.∙Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your model or approach.5.The judges will evaluate the quality of your writing in the Solution Paper:∙Conciseness and organization are extremely important.∙Key statements should present major ideas and results.∙Present a clarification or restatement of the problem, as appropriate.∙Present a clear exposition of all variables, assumptions, and hypotheses.∙Present an analysis of the problem, including the motivation or justification for the model that is used.∙Include a design of the model.∙Discuss how the model could be tested, including error analysis and stability (conditioning, sensitivity, etc.).∙Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses in your model or approach.6.Papers must be typed and in English.7.The solution must consist entirely of written text, and possibly figures,charts, or other written material, on paper only. No non-paper supportmaterials such as computer files or disks will be accepted.8.The Solution Paper must display the team control number and thepage number at the top of every page; for example, use the followingpage header on each page:Team # 321 Page 6 of 139.The names of the students, advisor, or institution should NOT appear on anypage of the print solution or electronic solution. The solution should notcontain any identifying information other than the team control number.10.Failure to adhere to any preparation rule is grounds for teamdisqualification.D. Print Summary Sheet and Control Sheet:After the contest begins at 8PM EST on Thursday February 10, 2011, and while the teams are preparing their solutions, the advisor should:1.Login to the contest web site (go to/undergraduate/contests/mcm. Click on Advisor Login, then enter your email address and password).2.Enter the team member names and confirm that each name is spelledcorrectly. This determines how the names will appear on the contestcertificates. COMAP will not make any changes or reprint certificates for any reason.3.Specify the problem that your team has chosen to solve.4.Print one copy of the Control Sheet.5.Print one copy of the team Summary Sheet.6.III.

数学建模美赛须知

加强数学建模综合能力培养——数学中国2011年美赛工作总结华晓帅（数学中国网站CEO）马壮（数学中国网站站长）2011年2月15日——2月19日，美国大学生数学建模竞赛与美国大学生交叉学科数学建模竞赛如期举行，作为中国最大的数学建模交流基地“数学中国”来讲，与参加美赛的中国内地同学共同度过了四天四夜。

对于本次竞赛，数学中国网站作了以下的总结。

希望能同大家交流一下比赛经验。

一、保持新闻的敏感度：在每次举办国内外数学建模竞赛之前，我们数学中国都事先做好心理准备，压一下比赛题目。

在春节前，数学中国论坛发表了《2011年数学建模十大热门研究课题》，第一个研究课题便压中了美赛的A题。

当然这里不是教大家如何猜题目。

我们想告诉大家要多关心国内外的时事、政治、经济。

为什么这样讲呢？道理很简单，学习数学建模，参加竞赛的最终目的不是拿奖，而是为了掌握一门社会科学技能。

大家学习数学建模后，可以用数学的眼光看问题。

比如说这次的A题，2007年2月联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）发表了第四次评估报告，在国际上引起了轩然大波。

报告预测指出，从人类工业时代开始到2100年，全球平均气温的“最可能升高幅度”是1.8至4℃，海平面升高幅度是19至58厘米，北冰洋的海冰将在本世纪后半段融化消失。

这个报告引出的问题很多，事实也得到了验证。

比如2007年至2011年的冬天，我们国家遭受了50年不遇的特大雪灾，美国南部又一次遭遇了飓风。

有证据显示这些都可能是由全球气候变暖引发的极端恶劣天气。

全球气候变暖考察的问题很多，A题选取了一个佛州的例子，意在让全球气候变暖得到大家足够的重视。

当然所有的时事不可能在一次竞赛里全部体现出来。

但是当大家看新闻的时候，应该多思考一下如何使用数学模型来处理新闻热点中提到的问题，经常和队员交流一下思路，增强对新闻的敏感度，提高对数学建模的应用能力。

我们数学中国论坛将在近期成立“数学建模研究组”（暂定名称）。

特别提醒参加美赛的同学注意以下几点

特别提醒参加美赛的同学注意以下几点
特别提醒参加美赛的同学注意以下几点:
(1)认真阅读参赛须知，遵守竞赛规则，竞赛期间不要在互网上讨论竞赛问题，主办方有监控。

(2)注意自己队的控制号(参赛队号)不能写错，错了将不被识别，也不能参加评奖。

(3)提交电子版论文的邮件主题一定要与你们的控制号-致,COMAP 是按邮件主题由计算机自动识别处理电子版论文(非人工处理)，否则将不能被识别处理。

(4)因论文的初评是在网上进行的，评阅电子版论文，所以在电子版论文中除了控制号以外不能含有参赛队的其他信息,特别注意不能有包含参赛队信息的控制页，即控制页禁止放在电子版论文中，也不要将控制页电子版随邮件发送，控制页只需要打印一份随纸制版论文邮寄给COMAP即可。

(5)若需要压缩软件打包，一定要采用通用的压缩工具压缩，不要用国内某些公司推出的压缩工具，如“快压”等。

(6)如有多个文件，- -定打包压缩成-一个以控制号命名的文件，作为邮件的附件发送给COMAP。

上传附件时，注意不要用某些邮件服务商提供的超大附件或云附件功能,因为用这些功能发送的邮件附件不能
上传到接收方的服务器系统中，系统不能处理，将按未成功提交论文处理。

(7)提交论文的邮件成功发送一-次即可，不要重复发送，更不要重复发送不同内容的论文。

-般接收方不会马上回复，只要你发送后提示发送成功，稍候可以在注册系统中查询对方是否成功接收的信息。

美赛c题注意事项

美赛C题注意事项如下：
1. 要确定模型是否合适。

如果模型过于复杂，需要花费大量时间进行计算和整理数据，可能会导致时间不够用。

因此，需要选择合适的模型。

2. 要明确目标。

确定要解决的具体问题，并设定可量化的目标。

3. 要充分理解问题背景。

了解问题背景和相关信息，有助于选择合适的模型和方法。

4. 要认真制定计划。

制定计划时，要考虑如何收集数据、如何使用模型、如何估计误差、如何进行模型的验证和优化等问题。

5. 时间管理。

由于C题相对复杂，需要更多的时间来准备和完成报告。

确保合理分配时间，以避免最后时刻压力过大。

6. 模型的验证和优化。

在完成模拟计算后，需要对模型进行验证，并根据结果进行必要的优化。

7. 团队沟通。

与团队成员保持密切沟通，共同解决问题，分享信息和经验。

8. 遵守竞赛规则。

确保遵守所有竞赛规则，包括数据使用和报告格式等要求。

9. 确保报告质量。

一份高质量的报告是比赛成功的关键，注意报告的格式和内容，确保报告清晰、准确和有说服力。

按照以上注意事项进行操作，可以更好地完成美赛C题的建模与报告提交。

关于美国大学生数学建模竞赛的组织管理办法

关于“美国大学生数学建模竞赛”的组织管理办法一、赛事背景美国大学生数学建模竞赛（MCM/ICM，以下简称美赛），是唯一的国际性数学建模竞赛，也是世界范围内最具影响力的数学建模竞赛。

美赛始于1985年，由COMAP（the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Application，美国数学及其应用联合会）主办，得到了SIAM，NSA，INFORMS 等多个组织的赞助。

MCM/ICM 着重强调研究问题、解决方案的原创性、团队合作、交流以及结果的合理性。

竞赛以三人（本科生）为一组，在四天时间内，就指定的问题完成从建立模型、求解、验证到论文撰写的全部工作。

竞赛每年都吸引大量著名高校参赛。

20XX 年MCM/ICM 有超过7700支队伍参加，遍及五大洲。

MCM/ICM 已经成为最著名的国际大学生竞赛之一。

同济大学于20XX年首次组织学生参加该项赛事。

近年来，在学校领导关心指导下，在数学系数学建模指导教师团队的努力下，我校取得了令人瞩目的成绩，这不仅提高了同济大学的国际知名度，更为学校培养具有创新精神和竞争力的优秀人才、推动数学学科教学改革做出了一定的贡献。

为了更好的组织和管理美国大学生数学建模竞赛，特制定本办法。

二、组织参赛美赛由同济大学教务处主办，数学系承办以及负责具体指导工作，设立组织工作委员会和组委会秘书处，并指导数学建模协会工作。

如何备战美赛MCM

美赛备战攻略各位校苑会员，你们好！我是校苑数模论坛的赵松，截止目前，2014年“校苑数模高校巡回讲座”已经接近尾声了，我有幸参加了清华站、北航站、武汉理工站、西大站以及西南民大站的现场讲座，聆听了包括美赛赛题专家周老师、美赛O奖获得者华科熊风以及西南民大谢永意等众多嘉宾的精彩报告。

大学期间，我参加了美赛、国赛、Mathorcup、电工杯、苏北赛、校赛等大大小小的赛事，共9次。

这篇帖子的内容融合了自己的参赛经验、两年的科研经验（包括英文论文写作）以及嘉宾们的经验；题目定义成《美赛如何获奖》，我觉得一点都不为过，只要做好文章提到的内容，可以说至少可以获得美赛二等奖。

1. 对美国大学生数学建模竞赛的错误认识<1> 不是数学专业的同学能否参加数学建模竞赛？这个问题由来已久，不仅仅限于美赛，对国赛、Mathorcup 以及其它数模赛事，某些非数学专业的人都会望而生畏。

与其说望而生畏，不如说是望文生义，很多同学只要看到“数学”二字，心里都会产生一种高大上的感觉。

造成对数学建模的错误认识的原因是各方面的，比如数模指导教师都是理学院的、教高数的，还比如学长们的经验分享中明确提出需要具备一定的数学功底等等。

第一，数学建模竞赛对数学确实有一定的基础性要求，我个人认为高等数学、线性代数以及概率论与数理统计这三门课，基本可以构成数学建模的数学门槛。

有些学校明确要求不让大一或者大三以下的学生参赛，也是考虑到低年级的学生没有系统地学习过这三门课。

这些基本知识在进一步的了解基本数学模型的过程中会经常遇到。

第二，数学建模竞赛涉及的领域远远超出了理论数学的范畴，它属于应用数学范畴，涉及到物理、化学、计算机、医疗以及控制等等各大门类。

一种很现实的现象是，高校在组队的过程中，往往将不同专业的学生组成一队，也是考虑到这个因素。

总结来说，不是数学专业的同学也非常适合参加数学建模竞赛，数学成绩不好的同学并非不适合参加数学建模竞赛。

美赛简介及竞赛规则

MCM/ICM竞赛简介享有数学建模“奥林匹克”之称的MCM/ICM竞赛是一项面向世界各国大学生的国际性赛事，包括The Mathematical Contest in Modeling(数学建模竞赛)、The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling(交叉学科建模竞赛)和MCM/ICM Media Contest(数学建模媒体竞赛)，由美国自然基金协会和美国数学及其应用联合会共同主办，运筹学与管理科学学会、工业与应用数学学会、数学学会等多家机构协办，目前已成为全世界最具影响力的大学生学科竞赛。

MCM(The Mathematical Contest in Modeling，数学建模竞赛)始于1985年，其宗旨是鼓励大学生通过对实际问题予以阐明、分析、建立数学模型并提出解法，来提高应用数学解决实际问题的能力和写作能力；ICM(The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling，交叉学科建模竞赛)始于2000年，其宗旨是发展并提升大学生运用数学方法解决交叉学科问题的能力和写作能力。

比赛每年举办一次。

竞赛形式为三名学生组成一队在四天内任选一题，完成该实际问题的数学建模的全过程，并就问题的重述、简化和假设及其合理性的论述、数学模型的建立和求解（及软件）、检验和改进、模型的优缺点及其可能的应用范围的自我评述等内容写出论文。

该项竞赛共设置四个奖项，分别为Outstanding Winner，Finalist，Meritorious Winner，Honorable Mentions。

在国内，约定俗成地将这四个奖项分别对应为特等奖、特等奖提名奖、一等奖、二等奖。

2013年吸引了来自中国、美国、加拿大、德国、印度、芬兰等15个国家和地区的6593支队伍参赛。

美赛团队概要

美赛团队概要美国大学生数学建模竞赛（MCM/ICM）由美国数学及其应用联合会主办，是唯一的国际性数学建模竞赛，也是世界范围内最具影响力的数学建模竞赛。

赛题内容涉及经济、管理、环境、资源、生态、医学、安全、等众多领域。

竞赛要求三人（本科生）为一组，在四天时间内，就指定的问题完成从建立模型、求解、验证到论文撰写的全部工作，体现了参赛选手研究问题、解决方案的能力及团队合作精神。

为现今各类数学建模竞赛之鼻祖。

这个比赛相信大家都不陌生，在很多学校保研文件里都明确了是可以加分的，同时还能够作为自己的一种经历，如果能取得比较好的成绩，写入简历里也是非常不错的！前段时间刚出的美赛成绩，相信又是几家欢喜几家愁，如果你在这次比赛的表现不是很好，那么没关系，这篇文章的美赛经验帖就是给大家一些建议，助你拿到理想奖项！关于组队组队的时候建议大家都选择有保研意向的队员，当三个人都有很强烈的获奖欲望的时候，这支队伍才能迸发出强大的力量，没有混子是非常重要的一点，因为美赛的比赛时间只有四天，非常短暂。

在这四天要完成选题、思路汇总、定题、建模、绘图、写作、提交论文等，每个人都要完成相当多的任务，如果有一个人划水的话，其他两个人的负担就会很重。

还有就是任何一个团体竞赛，良好的沟通协调能力是必须的，三个人一定要互相了解，多沟通，不然最后做出来的论文可能牛头不对马嘴。

总的建议就是选择有斗志、任劳任怨，好沟通的同学组队。

当然对于那些参加过美赛/国赛已得过奖的同学，组队能组到这样的同学简直太幸运了。

如果不能组到有比赛经验基础的同学，也不要灰心，因为大多数的队伍是三萌新，我也见过三个从未参加过建模比赛的同学，第一次美赛就获得了M奖，所以比赛还是讲究的团队协作，只要三个人契合度很高，结果一定不会差的。

一般来说，建模涉及到编程、写作和建模三部分，这三部分最好分别有一个同学主要来负责。

1、计算机、通信工程、电子信息等设计到编程知识较多的专业。

这些专业同学一般有相关算法的专业课，并且对C/C++、python、JAVA、Lingo等计算机语言非常精通，毕竟这些是他们的基础专业课，算法部分可以交给这些同学来完成。
