Background
Based on Ben Fusaro’s suggestion for an “applied Putnam” contest, in
1985 COMAP introduced the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)
R
!
.
Since then, this Journal has devoted an issue each year to the Outstanding
contest papers. Even after substantial editing, that issue has sometimes run
to more than three times the size of an ordinary issue. From 2005 through
2009, some papers appeared in electronic form only.
The 2,254 MCM teams in 2010 was almost double the number in 2008.
Also, since the introduction in 1999 of the Interdisciplinary Contest in
Modeling (ICM)
R
!
(which has separate funding and sponsorship from the
MCM), the Journal has devoted a second of its four annual issues to Out-
standing papers from that contest.
A New Designation for Papers
It has become increasingly difficult to identify just a handful of Out-
standing papers for each problem. After 14 Outstanding MCM teams in
2007, there have been 9 in each year since, despite more teams competing.
The judges have been overwhelmed by increasing numbers of Merito-
rious papers from which to select the truly Outstanding. As a result, this
year there is a new designation of Finalist teams, between Outstanding and
Meritorious. It recognizes the less than 1% of papers that reached the final
(seventh) round of judging but were not selected as Outstanding. Each
Finalist paper displayed some modeling that distinguished it from the rest
of the Meritorious papers. We think that the Finalist papers deserve special
