Mathmodels.org Membership
Welcome to the new home of Mathmodels.org
Powered by COMAP content, Mathmodels.org goes beyond our contests to make applied mathematics and modeling a year-round activity with problems, student solutions and commentaries. Teachers and students use the materials found on this site to enrich their classes and prepare for mathematical modeling competitions.
COMAP Conferences & Meetings
Next Up:
Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)
May 9-15, 2026: Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, AZ
Each year, dozens of professional organizations — representing a wide variety of scientific disciplines across government, industry, and education — affiliate with Regeneron ISEF as Special Award Organizations (SAOs). COMAP is proud to be an SAO for the first time this year.
Math Modeling Contest for High School Students and College Undergraduates
Next up: Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)® and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM)®, January 29 - February 2, 2026
Refresh for Relevance
COMAP invites educators, undergraduate and graduate students to help refresh and modernize our rich library of mathematical modeling resources. Mathematics education is evolving, and what was relevant a decade ago may no longer engage today’s diverse students. The Refresh for Relevance Challenge is an opportunity to revamp classic COMAP materials to align with contemporary classrooms, new technology, and current best practices.
Discrete Mathematics: Modeling Our World NEW 5th Edition
Written specifically for high school courses, Discrete Mathematics: Modeling Our World is a new fifth edition of the formerly titled Discrete Mathematics Through Applications. It is designed to help you implement mathematical modeling in your classroom, in a way that promotes active learning, critical thinking, and fully engaged student participation.
Math & Modeling
Contests
COMAP’s international modeling contest opportunities at the middle school, high school, and undergraduate levels challenge teams of students to solve a real-world application problem, present their solution, and win recognition.

UMAP Module 658: Windchill
This is the 2nd edition of the Module that was originally published in Vol. 5, No. 4 of the UMAP Journal in 1984.
This revised edition has been updated to incorporate the change to the Wind Chill Equivalent Temperature index that was instituted in 2001; it compares that index with the earlier index examined in the first edition of the Module.
