Graduate student mathematical modeling camp

​The GSMM Camp is a weeklong workshop directed towards interdisciplinary problem solving whose aim is graduate student education and career development. The GSMM Camp is designed to promote a broad range of problem-solving skills, including mathematical modeling and analysis, scientific computation, and critical assessment of solutions. The mathematical problems considered at the Camp are highly interdisciplinary in nature and are inspired by real problems that arise in industrial applications. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students​ work on the problems in teams, guided by an invited faculty mentor, so that scientific communication is an important and integral component of the work. As a result, the GSMM Camp exposes students to real-world problems of current scientific interest, and provides a valuable educational and career-enhancing experience outside of the traditional academic setting.​

The GSMM Camp operates hand in hand with the annual Mathematical Problems in Industry Workshop, this year to be held at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The Camp runs during the week prior to the Workshop and the students and mentors are encouraged to attend the Workshop as well. Thus, the GSMM Camp provides an additional problem-solving experience for students as a warm-up prior to the Workshop. All students accepted to the program will be reimbursed for reasonable travel and local expenses for both the Camp and MPI.

Further information about the Camp is available by clicking on the GSMMC 2022 Links at l​eft. In particular, there is  information for interested students and their faculty advisors, and app​lic​ation information for students to apply to the program.​

Students participating in the GSMM Camp and MPI Workshop are supported by the National Science Foundation and by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics​ (SIAM) through the James Crowley F​und for Student Support. ​We also thank the Department of Mathematical Sciences for their generous support.
