Students receive honorable mention at 2012 Mathematical Modeling Contest

A team consisting of MSUM students: Shouvik Bhat- tacharya, double major in mathematics and physics; Murshid Saqlain, physics major and mathematics minor; and Pragalv Karki, physics major and mathematics minor received honorable mention in the 2012 Mathematical Contest in Modeling organized by COMAP.

The MSUM students worked out the solution for sending an optimal number of trips for river rafting that ensures no two trips intersect their travel path and that team members will have the best opportunity to enjoy the wilderness. Their solution made use of graph theory and combinatorics. Dr. Damiano Fulghesu supervised the team’s registration and the submission of their solutions.
