On 12-15 July 2018, six teams of students from UP competed in the South African Mathematical Modelling Contest (SAMMC). It is a four day mathematical modelling competition whereby students work in small teams to solve one of three given mathematical modelling challenges, culminating in a short written report. This was a mock competition to prepare the students for the Consortium of Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP) Mathematical Contest in Modelling (MCM) in January 2019.
Two teams from UP which successfully completed the competition are:
Adriaan de Clercq, Janco Krause - Second Place
Boikhutso Ramanyane, Kevin Kamukapa, Kristen Smith - Successful Participants
