To provide Ontarian high school students with fun, unique and exciting experience where they construct, explain, justify, predict, and present a model with their mathematical skills and reasoning.
Not (only, just) to win but to have fun while learning!

• There is no unique definition or structure for Mathematical Modeling.
• We will differentiate modeling questions from real world application of mathematics by focusing on various factors
• Since, different factors must be pointed, we highly encourage groups to be a collection of members with different skills and different views
(interdisciplinary skill set within group)

• Typically Modeling Contest are a multi-day mathematics competition for High School Students and it is to promote students’ mathematical thinking while developing problem solving skills
• Create and early familiarity and practice of skills required for STEM
• Collaboration, Communication, Mathematical Thinking, Reasoning, Logic

• Are all the facts taken • Do calculations make into consideration? sense?
• Does the Model • Is the mathematics represent the situation correct? well? • Would small changes in • Is every characteristic the model results in of the problem different outcomes defined?

• Understand the problem: Determine where you are going?
• Plan a strategy for solving the problem: Decide how to go about solving it
• Execute your strategy and revise it if necessary: Carry it out
• Check and interpret your result: Don’t stop yet.
Does the model “make sense”?
How “sensitive” are the variables to the model’s results?

• Understand the problem, identify the unknowns
• Consider all the aspects, principals, the information, and how unknowns are related… be straight forward
• Find the “essence” of the problem - close to reality
• Introduce your goals in the model

Divide the problem into cases / Carry out a plan
• Analyze each case
• Introduce every case with detail
• Show how data matches every case

Image Sources:
They wish to use sous-vide water bath cooker with temperature control to achieve the same style egg.
Image Sources:
• Control egg consistency - yolk is runny but firm
• Meet Health Canada’s food handling and preparations regulations
• Farm Fresh, Free run, certified organic-unpasteurized
• Eggs need to made and ready to use at an economical price.
• NOTE: Health Canada,”Raw eggs can contain harmful bacteria. Eggs and egg- based foods should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 74°C (165°F) to ensure they are safe to eat.”(1) Image Sources:
• Read the problem carefully! If it helps, read it aloud
• Record the quantities and conditions that are given (often called the data of the problem).
• Identify the knowns and unknowns. Exactly what is to be determined?
• Draw a picture or diagram to help you organize the information and visualize the problem.
• If possible, restate the problem in different ways to clarify or simplify it.

• At what temperature does each part start to solidify?
• What are the regulations regarding handling and cooking eggs?
• Temperature of bath and time at temperature? T_egg, T_bath
• To chill or not…. upon removal from bath?

• Fresh egg whites coagulate in the range 62° to 65°C
• Egg yolks coagulate in the range 65° to 70°C.
• BUT 65°C is less the 74°C (2)

• Store at below 4℃ before cooking (1) A plan is forming! • Use Pasteurized Eggs(2) in Recipes That Call For Raw or Undercooked Eggs
• 2h at 57℃ to pasteurize in the shell.(3)

How much complexity do we need in the model?
• Include the shell? membrane?
• average diameter of egg?
• mass of egg?
• Assume constant thermal properties of yolk and white?
• Assume no convection within the egg?

• Get down the basics of what is happening…
• What are factors in heat flow? What is the simplest model that has “good” results?

In a substance with high thermal diffusivity, heat moves rapidly through it because the substance conducts heat quickly relative to its volumetric heat capacity Convection: the transfer of heat by the circulation of the heated parts of a liquid or gas References: (1) http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/eating-nutrition/healthy-eating-saine-alimentation/safety-salubrite/meat-viandes/eggs-oeufs-eng.php (2) http://www.aeb.org/images/Pasteurization_Manual.pdf (3) http://www.cookingissues.com/uploads/Low_Temp_Charts.pdf This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

• Analyze the model for solutions
• Test the model’s conclusions against test cases they constructed or found in their research
• Perform a sensitivity test to determine how the conclusions change based upon changes in the data thereby identifying the most relevant variables.
