Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Mathematical Contest in Modeling 2014
    (2014) Helgeson, Jasmine; Ni, Penghuan; Schoenheider, Tim; Bauer, Philip; Schmieg, Jesse; Toninato, Joe; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and Statistics
    Each February, a nationwide international Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) is held. Contestants have 96 hours to select from one of two problems and submit a solution. This year, two teams represented UMD. One team selected PROBLEM A: The Keep- Right-Except-To-Pass Rule, to develop a model to determine whether this is an effective rule in promoting better traffic flow, or whether some other rule might be better. The other team selected PROBLEM B: College Coaching Legends, to build a mathematical model to choose the best college coach or coaches from among either male or female coaches in such sports as college hockey, field hockey, football, baseball, basketball, or soccer. The teams will discuss the contest problems, their proposed solutions, and their overall experience with the competition.

    Three Undergraduate Research Projects (2014-05-08)
    (2014) Helgeson, Jasmine; Hu, Chenxiao; Lv, Jing; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and Statistics; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and Statistics
    In this colloquium three UMD undergraduate students will describe their research projects. Jasmine Helgeson examined the extent to which policies have created differences in the amount of electrical power generated from wind turbines across the US. Chenxiao Hu used the community college GPA of transfer students enrolled in UMD General Biology to create a model for predicting class grades. She will explain particularly interesting effects of SCSE major and gender. Jing Lv studied how volume and the price/earnings ratio affects stock price based on company size.
