Secrets of the Mathematical Contest in Modeling
这是一位美国学生用自己的切身参赛经验写的一份论文，他曾经参加过三次，第一次是成功参与奖（三等奖），第二次是honorable mention（二等奖/提名奖），第三次是OUTSTANDING（特等奖），在以后的学习中还曾指导过其他队参加mcm/icm，他的经验对即将参加mcm/icm的同学来说可以说是很难得的！现附上论文的introduction，让大家先睹为快！The following is my own personal strategy of how to attack the MCM. It is certainly not the
only way, and I make no claims that it is the best way. Participating in the MCM was the most
fun, challenging, exciting, frustrating, and exhausting thing I ever did as an undergraduate.
I participated three years: The first time, I was a barely out of Calculus, and the MCM hit
me like a freight train. I was totally unprepared, utterly blindsided, and my team ended up
with a Successful Participant ranking. I spent hours analyzing what went wrong, and plotting
my revenge. The second year, we did better, but I still didn’t have a handle on things, and
we didn’t know where to attack, ending up with an Honorable Mention. By the third year
(’98), I was out for blood. I went over the previous years problems, studying the anatomy
of a good **, relentlessly preparing for the intellectual battle of a lifetime. This time
my team clicked, and we annihilated the problem – receiving an Outstanding, the highest
possible ranking. In the years since I graduated, I have coached teams both at the University
of Colorado at Boulder 2000 - 2003, and at Carroll College 2004 - present, so I have seen a
lot of teams succeed and others that didn’t do as well as they could. The advice that follows
comes from my own personal experience both in the contest and as a coach. This is how I
would attack the MCM today. 这是一篇不可多得的mcm/icm经验介绍，在此给大家分:)享，希望对大家的比赛能有帮助。 那也太贵了吧…………………………………………………………………… 呵呵，还看不了……………………

因为这个东西太好了，我的体力又不大够用的 ，只好把它拿出来做买卖了，我们指导老师指导美赛也有几年了，去年我们学校最好的就是两组一等奖了，都是他指导的，这是他的最好的资料了，叫我们不要外传的，我也是有点迫不得已额！ 回复 5# qiujian
呵呵，是吗？那我就信你了，看看………………………………………… 啊，这个我看过了，我这都有，哈哈………………白花我的钱了……………… 那我就给你多会几个，把我钱赚回来，呵呵……………… 回复 7# 小旋风假
呵呵 那真的不好意思了 啊，有空我多逛逛你的页面啊，你在下载东西是看看文章的题目是否相同，以前我也遇见过这种情况，所以现在下东西小心多了！ 回复 9# qiujian
这次我看了，题目是不同，可是内容却是一样的，呵呵，不过没有关系…………:)
