ABSTRACT

The article first introduces the concept of modeling and briefly discusses about the development, competition form and significance of the mathematical contest in modeling in the United States and China, and then starts with the analysis of the test questions of the mathematical contest in modeling in both countries over the years. It compares and analyzes the similarities and differences between the mathematical contest in modeling in the United States and China from the aspects of the purpose of holding the contest, the form of the contest, the test questions and the contest process. Then it points out the relevant cases of modeling cooperation between the United States and China. Finally, the paper makes a concise summary of the above contents and points out the development direction of mathematical modeling contest.
