High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM) offers students the opportunity to compete in a team setting using mathematics to present solutions to real-world modeling problems.

2012
15th Annual
High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM)
Will Be Held on November 2-19, 2012



Additional support provided by the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM),
the Mathematical Association of America (MAA),
and the Institute for Operations Research and
Management Sciences (INFORMS).

Now available view all the Regional and National Outstanding papers in their entirety.
This will make a great addition to any modeling class or can be used for contest preparation.

Each 2011 HiMCM CD-ROM includes:

• The 2011 HiMCM press release,
• Results report with team designation,
• The 2010 HiMCM problem sets,
• Unabridged versions of The National Outstanding Papers,
• Unabridged versions of The Regional Outstanding Papers,
• COMAP membership information, and
• COMAP contact information.  Learn More
