Recently, our students achieved remarkable success, securing 4 Finalist awards (nominations for the special prize), 36 Meritorious Winner awards (first prize) and 114 Honorable Mentions (second prize). This marks a significant breakthrough in both the number of participants and the quality of awards for two consecutive years.

The contests provide a challenge to solve a real-world application problemand get recognition for it on an international stage. It's an excellent opportunity to developtheinterpersonal skills through teamwork, develop technical writing and communication skills through your written report, feel a sense of accomplishment, and earn an impressive resume credential. Students and advisors report that participation and success in MCMprovides an advantage when applying for internships and jobs.

In recent years, HEU hasplaced significant emphasis on foundational subject competitions, providing support in areas such as promotion,organization, guidanceand funding.The Schoolof Mathematical Sciences, as the leading unit for theMathematical Modeling Competition, has actively undertaken the overall organization of the event. We have established a multi-faceted communication mechanism for the competition and conducted a series of training seminars through our mathematical modeling competition coaching team. These sessions focus on the competition process, key considerationsand standards for paper writing, offering targeted guidance in multiple rounds. This approach continuously broadens the knowledge base of participating students and significantly enhances their competitive abilities and levels. In this year's competition, our school has registered a total of 608 teams, with over 1,500 undergraduate students participating, reflecting a sustained expansion in participation.
