Abstract
ABSTRACT The Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) was started in 1985 by Ben Fusaro while at Salisbury State University, and the Consortium on Mathematics and its Applications has sponsored the MCM from the beginning. The MCM is a contest in which teams of three undergraduate students compete with other undergraduate teams from schools all over the world. A key attraction of this competition is the emphasis on practical applications of mathematics to solve real—world problems. The authors implemented a successful MCM program at Eastern Oregon University which can serve as a model from which to build or enhance your own program. We have found that the MCM program promotes teamwork, generates enthusiasm in the students, and provides a forum in which small public or private schools can advantageously compete with larger research-oriented schools.
