CSE students won 1st place in the “Shenzhen Cup” Mathematical Modeling Competition

Hosted by China Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Shenzhen Science and Technology Association, co-organized by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), the “Shenzhen Cup” Mathematical Modeling Competition was held at SUSTech on August 18th, 2018.

The team of Zhejiang University consists of ZHOU Tao, ZHANG Tianhao and LI Zhen and is guided by Prof. HE Shibo (College of Control Science and Engineering) and Prof. SHI Zhiguo (College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering).

After three days of presentations and discussions, ZJU team was selected as the best one for the problem B among all teams of famous universities like Tsinghua University and Fudan University.

“Shenzhen Cup” Mathematical Modeling Competition was first held in 2011, and embraced its 8th event this year. Over the years it has attracted thousands of students to take part in. The test problems are announced usually in April each year. Teams are required to provide a preliminary report to the problem they choose in about one month, according to which they will be selected by the professional committee to enter the final competition in August. Four problems were published in this year’s competition, and only one best team would be selected as the first place for each problem.
