We invite students (grades 8-12) to join us this coming February for practices leading to next year's ARML competition. For more information visit the Northern California ARML website.


MME team achieves Outstanding in the COMAP MCM competition.

Math modeling coaches Sarah Williams and Brandy Wiegers ask you to join us in congratulating our undergraduate teams from the UC Davis Math Modeling Experience, who competed in the prestigious 2006 Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

Our team of Bryan Bell, Yaroslav Gelfand, and Simpson Wong submitted a solution designated by competition judges as OUTSTANDING, the top ranking.

The team's report, "Optimization of irrigation time, pipe set placements, and irrigation uniformity for a hand move system," can be viewed online: http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~exploration/mme/UCD-MCM.pdf

Our team of Luis de la Torre, Mary Lash, and Nicholai Linesch received the rank of MERITORIOUS, which is the second-highest ranking.

Congratulations to all Math Modeling Experience undergraduates!
