Welcome! Dr. Greg Mayer is using this site to help Georgia Tech students and their team members who are participating in the upcoming SCUDEM challenge prepare for the event.

Dr Mayer is using this site to help students his teams prepare for the SCUDEM challenge.

What is SCUDEM?

The SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling (SCUDEM) is an annual 3-student group mathematical modeling challenge.

Each group has two weeks to propose a solution to one of three challenges in the form of a 10 minute video.

Teams choose one of the Challenge Problems provided in the areas of physics/engineering, chemistry/life sciences, and the social sciences.

Videos are reviewed by judges from all over the world. Each submission is given an award of either OutstandingMeritorious, or Successful.

Interested in Participating?

The mathematical challenge is approachable to anyone who has completed an integral calculus course. Although many students approach the challenge problems with differential equations, it isn’t necessary to have completed a differential equations course to participate.

There is a registration fee of about $33 per student for Fall 2024.

Each team of three students must register with a coach.

Dr. Mayer would be happy to coach more students! If you are interested please send him an email.
