<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Mar. 25th, 2005: The results <strong>of</strong> Mathematical Contest in<br />

Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM) have been<br />

announced the other day. This contest was held in America this year. Contestants<br />

from <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> have won a total <strong>of</strong> 10 prizes, including five First Prizes and<br />

two second prizes by School <strong>of</strong> Mathematical Sciences, one Second Prize by School<br />

<strong>of</strong> Earth and Space Sciences and two Second Prizes by Medical School. This time,<br />

the number <strong>of</strong> prizes we have won is the biggest since our school began to<br />

participate in the contest.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> the 13 contestant teams from <strong>PKU</strong> had made great achievements in the first<br />

session <strong>of</strong> ―Jiang Zehan Cup‖ Contest <strong>of</strong> Mathematical Modeling and Computer<br />

Applications. This not only shows the high mathematical education, cultivation and<br />

research level but also the actual effects <strong>of</strong> this kind <strong>of</strong> contest. It is reported that the<br />

second session <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> ―Jiang Zehan Cup‖ Contest <strong>of</strong> Mathematical Modeling and<br />

Computer Applications will be held at the beginning <strong>of</strong> April.<br />

MCM and ICM was set up by Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)<br />

in 1985, and has now become the most world-wide influential academic contests for<br />

university students. This contest is the important reference to evaluate the level <strong>of</strong><br />

university education for undergraduates. It was introduced into China in 1990, and<br />

was named <strong>of</strong> China Mathematical Contest in Modeling (CMCM). It has also become<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the four main contests in national universities and colleges.<br />
