About the International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IMMC)

The purpose of the IMMC is to promote the teaching and learning of mathematical modeling and its applications at all educational levels for all students. It is based on the firm belief that students and teachers need to experience the power of mathematics to help better understand, analyze and solve real world problems outside of mathematics itself – and to do so in realistic contexts. The Challenge is being launched in the spirit of promoting educational change and building an international platform and community to nurture students’ passion and capability for innovation.

IMMC was established in the spring of 2014 in Boston. Its co-founders and co-orgznizers are Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP) in US and NeoUnion ESC Organization in Hong Kong.

IMMC is distinguished from other mathematical contests by its real world problem and its strong focus on research, originality, teamwork, communication and justification of results.

ICIAM 2015 Mini-symposium on Mathematical Modeling Education

Organizer: NeoUnion ESC Organization, Hong Kong
Time: 13:30 – 18:00 August 14 2015 (Friday)
Venue: Multi-functional Room C, China National Convention Center, Beijing, China

Abstract: This minisymposium, part of sessions on ICIAM 2015, will introduce the newly instituted international contest in modeling for secondary school students – International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IMMC) whose co-founders and co-organizers are Consortium for Mathematics and its Application (COMAP) and NeoUnion ESC Organization. The meaning and significance of mathematical modeling education for fostering students’ innovation competencies will be addressed in response to the global trend in STEM education. Award presentation to local teams will be held during the minisymposium.

A team of students and their teacher advisor who won the Outstanding Prize in the first Annual IM2C 2015 will make presentation. Review in depth of the contest problem Movie Scheduling and commentary on solution papers by awarded teams will be lectured. Hands-on workshop on mathematical modeling teaching and learning will be offered in the minisymposium.

Ten countries participated in the 1st annual IMMC 2015. There were 60 teams from Greater China including 15 teams from Hong Kong and Macau, 22 teams from Beijing, and 23 teams from Shanghai. All teams worked at their own schools during a 5 day period between April 15 and May 15, 2015. Each team was given a modeling problem and then constructed their solutions. This year’s problem Movie Scheduling asked the teams to design a model for the effective filming and production of a motion picture. Outstanding prize were awarded to four teams: Palo Alto High School, US; Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary), Singarpore; the Affiliated High School of Peking University, China; and Shanghai Nanyang Model School, China. The Award Presentation Ceremony was held on July 5 2015 at the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
