Innovative Career Preparation
Over the summer, 23 students from 16 states and 19 higher education institutions around the country participated in the 16th annual Graduate Student Mathematical Modeling Camp (GSMMC) followed by the 37th annual workshop on Mathematical Problems in Industry (MPI).
“Though there are other summer student training camps like GSMMC and other industrial study groups like MPI, GSMMC-MPI is the only program that ties the two together,” said David A. Edwards, GSMMC co-organizer and UD professor of mathematical sciences. “MPI is the longest running industrial study group in the United States, having started in the mid-80s. In the mid-2000s, the organizers realized that graduate students would benefit from having some mathematical modeling training before launching into the real-world, research-level problems at MPI, and so the camp was born.”
