Thus Spoke Kronecker:
"God made the integers, all the rest is the work of man".
Math Modelling at Shaastra is about the rest.
The charm of engineering lies in the ability of an engineer to model and hence make a fairly accurate quantitative analysis of complex real world phenomena. The Math Modelling event poses slightly complex but interesting physical phenomena which are to be modelled mathematically, and solved to some degree of accuracy.
Math Modelling is an on-the spot event which will showcase a class of problems that are beautiful and may have engineering applications. The event will host a wide variety of problems ranging from modelling simple actions of nature to complex state of the art engineering. In the past, participants are known to have developed some ingenious mathematical models – viral mutations, quantum computing, crack propagation and auctioning systems to name a few.
This will be put up shortly. Last year's format was a 3 hour qualifying round followed by a 3 hour final. This year, the format is likely to be different. Keep checking the website for details.
