Next Up: The Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM). February 16 - February 20, 2023
Centered around mathematical modeling, most from an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary perspective, COMAP resources are academically rigorous and engaging for teachers and students.
Powered by COMAP content, MATHmodels.org goes beyond our contests to make applied mathematics and modeling a year-round activity with articles, webinars, problems with solutions, and more.
COMAP’s international modeling contest opportunities at the middle school, high school, and undergraduate levels challenge teams of students to solve a real-world application problem, present their solution, and win recognition.
COMAP provides educators and students a vast array of resources for teaching, learning, professional development, and contest participation. Resources are multidisciplinary, academically rigorous, and fun.
MATHmodels.org goes beyond our contests to make applied mathematics and modeling a year-round activity for students and educators through articles, webinars, modeling modules, and past contest problems with solutions.
COMAP is blogging! Check out our array of blogs addressing applied mathematics, math and interdisciplinary modeling, math and STEM education, and more.

Have you considered a career in mathematical modeling, but are unsure where to start? This list of math modeling careers will give you some options to consider.
After conceiving, founding, nurturing, and leading COMAP for over 40 years Sol Garfunkel is retiring.
The mission of COMAP – The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications - is to improve mathematics education with an emphasis on increasing student proficiency in mathematical modeling.
Since 1980, COMAP has worked with educators, students, businesses, and industry to create learning environments where mathematics is used to investigate and model real issues in our world.
COMAP develops curriculum resources, professional development programs, and contest opportunities that are multidisciplinary, academically rigorous, and fun for educators and students. COMAP's educational philosophy is centered around mathematical modeling: using mathematical tools to explore real-world problems.
