The International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IMMC) is not your typical math competition. Instead of solving textbook problems, students use mathematics to tackle global issues — from climate change to urban planning.

🧠 What is Mathematical Modeling?

Mathematical modeling is the process of using math to represent, analyze, and solve problems from real life. This could include:

  • Estimating the spread of diseases

  • Planning sustainable city traffic

  • Designing efficient water usage systems

  • Analyzing economic or social trends

In the IMMC, teams of four students work together over five days to create a full research-style report proposing a mathematical solution to a real problem.

🔍 A Glimpse Into the Challenge

In past years, IMMC problems have included:

  • Designing a global sports league schedule

  • Optimizing disaster relief logistics

  • Analyzing the impact of social media algorithms

Students must research, build models, test assumptions, and present results — all within five days.

📈 Why Join IMMC?

  • Develop university-level research skills

  • Learn teamwork, time management, and data analysis

  • Gain national recognition and a chance to represent Saudi Arabia internationally

  • Showcase your work to an international panel of judges and professors

Mathematics is the language of the future. Through IMMC, Saudi students have a chance to become global voices in science, data, and innovation.
