HiMCM Reference Books and Mathematical Modeling Textbooks
Mathematical Modeling
The new edition of Mathematical Modeling is the top choice for learning mathematical modeling. It covers a wide range of fields, from genetic engineering to hurricane forecasting, and demonstrates the important role of mathematical models in social decision-making.
The book explores various modeling methods in depth, including optimization models, dynamic models, and probabilistic models, helping students build a comprehensive understanding of the core concepts of mathematical modeling.
In addition, the new edition provides extensive teacher support resources, including online solution manuals and software-assisted materials.
A First Course in Mathematical Modeling
Author: Frank R. Giordano, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, formerly served as Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at West Point. For many years, he was a key organizer of the Mathematical Contest in Modeling and served as chair of the contest committee.
This classic textbook is designed to help students develop fundamental modeling skills and learn how to analyze and solve real-world problems mathematically.
Writing Papers for the Mathematical Contest in Modeling Correctly
This book focuses on how to write papers properly for the Mathematical Contest in Modeling. It is structured in two parts: authentic English content paired with corresponding Chinese explanations, helping readers first understand key concepts and then gradually develop the habit of thinking and writing in English.
Analysis and Research on Problems from the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (6 volumes)
A comprehensive six-book series that analyzes and studies problems from the Mathematical Contest in Modeling.
MCM/ICM Mathematical Modeling Competition (3 volumes)
A three-book series focused on the MCM/ICM Mathematical Modeling Competition.
