Mr. Patrick Honner shares congratulations to the 32 Stuyvesant students who competed in the 2023 High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM)! Each team of four had two weeks to apply mathematics, computing, and scientific knowledge in novel ways to understand and analyze one of two real world problems: the impact of invasive species like dandelions on existing ecosystems, or the benefits and drawbacks of converting a city's bus fleet to electric vehicles.
Each team submitted a 25-page solution document that described the model they constructed, the mathematical and computational tools they used to analyze, and their conclusions and policy recommendations. The teams will find out in January how their submissions stack up against the 1,200 teams who competed worldwide! Anyone interested in learning more about mathematical modeling can ask Mr. Honner in the mathematics department.
