Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)

 

The MCM is held every year over 4 days in January or February; this year, it will take place February 16-20, 2023.   It is open to any undergraduate student enrolled at Cal Poly (full or part time) and is appropriate for students at any level: first-year students to those about to graduate. It is open to any major as well - it can be a competitive advantage in the MCM to have an interdisciplinary team. 

Cal Poly has a 2-unit support course, Math 371, to coach the teams competing in the MCM. This year, Math 371 will be offered in the Fall quarter (FQ22), TR 6-7pm, 38-135. You do not need to enroll in Math 371 to compete in the MCM, but it's strongly recommended that you do -- especially if you have not competed in the MCM before. 

If you are interested in the competition, please attend the first meeting for Math 371 doubles as an orientation meeting for the contest. This meeting will be Tue., Sep. 20, 6:10-7:00pm in room 38-135. If you cannot attend this meeting, there will be another orientation meeting held online via Zoom at this meeting id (83996470213). (A complete zoom invitation is included below.) Please email Dr. Dave Camp (camp@calpoly.edu) if you are interested in the contest or the course but cannot attend either orientation meeting.
