COMAP, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, is an award-winning non-profit organization whose mission is to improve mathematics education.
What’s a problem that’s been bugging you lately?
That’s often where math modeling starts: questioning assumptions, constraints, and hidden variables.
Maybe it’s not just a complaint. Maybe it’s a problem worth modeling.
