in terms of specifications, the American College Students' mathematical modeling contest is naturally a higher level than that of the Chinese University Students' modeling contest.
After all, it's college students from all over the world who are facing the contest.
According to a statistical data, the 21st American undergraduate modeling contest held at the University of Chicago in the United States last year, a total of 10254 teams and 30762 college students from more than 30 countries and regions in the world signed up for the contest.
This year's number of participants and the number can not be checked, and these more than 10000 teams can be selected through the modeling competition of their respective countries.
However, the number of awards in the US competition is not as high as that in the National Games, almost 20% of the participants can win prizes.
Although the number of participants has been increasing year by year, the number of awards has remained unchanged for more than 20 years.
There are 200 outstanding awards, 80 nominations for special awards, and 20 special awards. There are 300 winners in total, which means that only 3% of the teams can get awards.
Of course, there is also an award called ”successful participation Award”. The quota is awarded according to 80% of the participating teams in that year.
This ratio It's almost the same as screwing the bottle cap and giving out ”thank you for participating”.
There will not be any school to take this as an award-winning situation in the student file.
…………
The time of the 22nd American Games has been determined, from February 14 to February 18 in the Gregorian calendar.
According to the lunar calendar, this period happens to be from the 14th to the 18th of the first month.
Fortunately, I just missed the Lantern Festival. Cheng Nuo once heard a senior student elder sister say that a few years ago, an American match happened to hit the spring festival days.
Anyway, there is no custom of Spring Festival in the United States, so the competition will be held as usual.
On the eve of new year's Eve, all over the country stay up late on New Year's Eve.
But other people stay up late is a happy family together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, they stay up late is forced to stay in the computer room modeling, typing code, outside the window, is the cold wind can not stop blowing.
North wind that blowing, snowflakes that float ah!
It's a ”bitter” word!
Of course, in addition to the scale of the competition, the general competition system of the U.S. and the National Games is similar, except that the competition given by the National Games is often 72 hours, while that of the American Games is four days, that is, 96 hours.
The topic type covers a wider range than the contents of the National Games, including economy, management, environment, resources, ecology, medicine, safety, future science and technology, etc.
Since the competition has increased from time to time, the difficulty will naturally increase to a certain extent.
…………
Now the time has just entered 2022, Cheng Nuo still has more than two months to prepare for the war.
Hey, I can't say I'm ready for war!
Anyway, the strength is there. If it wasn't for the requirements of the leaders of the college, plus the fact that he happened to encounter the world abacus mental arithmetic competition, Professor Fang would not let Cheng Nuo go on this trip.
We should know that at present, we have entered the most critical stage of weak BSD conjecture proof work. As long as we get through this difficult area, the road behind us will be smooth!
”Cheng Nuo, you went to participate in the competition this time, but you went with your mission. You have to get one of the 20 grand prizes anyway!” This is Professor Fang's original words to Cheng Nuo.
But in the final analysis, it is still the requirements of the college leaders.
The leaders of Tsinghua University of mathematics have their own considerations.
