B. Choose a problem:
Each team may choose any one of the six problem choices and should submit a solution to only one problem.
•    MCM problems are Problem A, Problem B or Problem C.
•    ICM problems are Problem D, Problem E or Problem F.
B.选择一个赛题
每支参赛队伍从六个赛题中选择一个并提交对于所选赛题的解决方案。
•    MCM 赛题是赛题A，赛题B或赛题C
•    ICM 赛题是赛题D，赛题E或赛题F
C. Teams prepare solutions:
1.    Teams may use any inanimate source of data or materials: computers, software, references, web sites, books, etc. ALL SOURCES USED MUST BE CREDITED. Failure to credit a source will result in a team being disqualified from the competition.
C.队伍准备论文：
1.    参赛队伍可使用任意非生命的数据或资料：计算机、软件、参考书目、网站、书籍等，所有引用的资料须注明出处。若有参赛队伍未能注明引用资料的出处，将被取消参赛资格。
2.    Team members may not seek help from or discuss the problem with their advisor or anyone else, except other members of the same team. Input in any form from anyone other than student team members is strictly forbidden. This includes email, telephone contact, and personal conversation, communication via web chat or other question-answer systems, or any other form of communication.
  2.参赛队伍成员不允许向指导教师或本队成员以外的其他成员求助或讨论赛题，严禁与本队伍以外的人进行任何形式的接触，包括电子邮件、电话、私人交谈、网络聊天或其他任何问答系统，以及其他任何形式的交流。
3.    Partial solutions are acceptable. There is no passing or failing cut-off score, and numerical scores will not be assigned. The MCM/ICM contest judges are primarily interested in the team’s approach and methods.
3.     不完整的论文是可以被接受的，竞赛不存在通过或不通过的分数，也没有数字形式的分数，MCM/ICM主要依据参赛队伍的方案和思路进行评判。
4.    Summary Sheet: The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICM paper. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary.
4.摘要页：摘要是MCM/ICM论文的一个重要部分。在评判过程中，摘要占据了相当大的一部分，获奖论文之所以能够从众多论文中脱颖而出就是因为其摘要的质量。
To write a good summary, imagine that a reader will choose whether to read the body of the paper based on your summary: Your concise presentation in the summary should inspire a reader to learn about the details of your work. Thus, a summary should clearly describe your approach to the problem and, most prominently, your most important conclusions.  Summaries that are mere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.
优秀的摘要可以让读者仅通过阅读摘要就能决定是否要继续阅读论文的正文部分。如此，摘要就必须明确阐述解决问题的方法以及显著的展现出对于问题的最重要结论。简单重复赛题或者从引言中复制粘贴的摘要是没有竞争力的。
Besides the summary sheet as described each paper should contain the following sections:
•       Restatement and clarification of the problem: State in your own words what you are going to do.
•       Explain assumptions and rationale/justification: Emphasize the assumptions that bear on the problem. Clearly list all variables used in your model.
•       Include your model design and justification for type model used or developed.
•       Describe model testing and sensitivity analysis, including error analysis, etc.
•       Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your model or approach.
除以上所提摘要格式外，每篇论文还应包括以下部分：
•       问题重述：用自己的话说明将要解决的问题。
•       解释假设以及基本原理/理由：重点陈述在解决问题中提出的假设。明确的列出在所有模型中应用到的变量。
•       对于已使用过的应用到的模型的构建与证明。
•       解释模型检验以及敏感性分析，包括误差分析等。
•       论述自身模型或方法的优缺点。
5.    The judges will evaluate the quality of your writing in the Solution Paper:
•       Conciseness and organization are extremely important.
•       Key statements should present major ideas and results.
•       Present a clarification or restatement of the problem, as appropriate.
•       Present a clear exposition of all variables, assumptions, and hypotheses.
•       Present an analysis of the problem, including the motivation or justification for the model that is used.
•       Include a design of the model.
•       Discuss how the model could be tested, including error analysis and stability (conditioning, sensitivity, etc.).
•       Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses in your model or approach.
5.评委将通过以下方面来评估论文质量：
•       简洁性和结构性非常重要。
•       主要结论应体现出主旨和结果。
•       酌情予以适当简化或重述问题。
•       明确阐述全部变量、猜想和假设。
•       对于问题的分析，包括对于使用模型的动机和理由的分析。
•       模型的设计。
•       讨论模型的测试方法，包括误差分析以及稳定性（使用条件，灵敏度等）。
•    模型或方法表面上的优缺点。
6.    Papers must be typed in English, with a readable font of at least 12 point type.
7.    The solution must consist entirely of written text, and possibly figures, charts, or other written material only. No non-paper support materials such as computer files or software will be accepted.
8.    The Solution Paper must display the team control number and the page number at the top of every page; for example, use the following page header on each page:
Team # 321                      Page 6 of 13
9.    The names of the students, advisor, or institution should NOT appear on any page of the electronic solution. The solution should not contain any identifying information other than the team control number.
10.    Failure to adhere to any preparation rule is grounds for team disqualification.
6.    论文需以英文输入，字体至少为12号。
7.    论文必须完全以文字形式，以及可能的图表或其他书写材料完成。不接收非论文形式的材料，如计算机文档或软件。
