Description
Our presentation is about our experience participating in the 2020 COMAP Mathematical Contest in Modeling this past Spring. We briefly discuss the nature of the contest, followed by a summary of our specific experience. We selected Problem B, which was about finding the ideal geometric shape of the foundation of a sandcastle, and we achieved “Successful Participant” in the contest.
