SIMIODE

MAA Intermountain Section Student Team Challenge

      Using Derivative Action Modeling

SIMIODE, in conjunction with the Intermountain Section of the Mathematical Association of America, is sponsoring a team event in which three member student teams from high schools or undergraduate schools will work on a modeling problem involving change. The modeling takes place at the team's home institution for a week and then teams will render their results in a 10 minute presentation at the Spring 2020 MAA Intermountain Section Meeting, 27-28 March 2020, to be held at Westminister College - Salt Lake City, UT USA.

You can find more information here.

Participants and Coaches need to register  (ALL IS FREE!) where they will be placed in appropriate groups for announcements and access to the problem for consideration. Participants and Coaches need to register (ALL IS FREE!) where they will be placed in appropriate groups for announcements and access to the problem for consideration. Registration will be open soon, hopefully NLT 15 February 2020. Sit tight!

Registration will run through 13 March 2020. When registering  be sure to say very precisely your reason for registering is "To participate in the your MAA Section name Section Modeling Challenge as Student" or "as Coach" where appropriate.

This is a first attempt at bringing this event, we might call it "SCUDEM Lite," to an MAA Section meeting. We would like to express our gratitude and acknowledge the idea and energy behind this event to  DR Vinodh Kumar Chellamuthu, Mathematics Department, Dixie State University, St. George UT USA. If other MAA Section leaders are interested in doing this for the students and faculty in their section next spring please contact us Director@simiode.org.
