優秀論文之MCM寫作技巧格式
摘要：
第一段：寫論文解決什麼問題
1. 問題的重述
a. 介紹重點詞開頭：
例1：“Hand move” irrigation, a cheap but labor-intensive system used on small farms, consists of a movable pipe with sprinkler on top that can be attached to a stationary main.
例2:……is a real-life common phenomenon with many complexities.
例3：An (effective plan) is crucial to………
b. 直接指出問題：
例 1：We find the optimal number of tollbooths in a highway toll-plaza for a given number of highway lanes: the number of tollbooths that minimizes average delay experienced by cars.
例2：A brand-new university needs to balance the cost of information technology security measures with the potential cost of attacks on its systems.
例3：We determine the number of sprinklers to use by analyzing the energy and motion of water in the pipe and examining the engineering parameters of sprinklers available in the market.
例4: After mathematically analyzing the …… problem, ourmodeling group would like to present our conclusions, strategies, (and recommendations )to the …….
例5：Our goal is... that (minimizes the time )……….
2. 解決這個問題的偉大意義
反面說明。如果沒有……
Without implementing defensive measure, the university is exposed to an expected loss of $8.9 million per year.
3. 總的解決概述
a.通過什麼方法解決什麼問題
例：We address the problem of optimizing amusement park enjoyment through distributing Quick Passes (QP), reservation slips that ideally allow an individual to spend less time waiting in line.
b.實際問題轉化為數學模型
例1 We formulate the problem as a network flow in which vertices are the locations of escorts and wheelchair passengers.
例2 : A naïve strategy would be to employ the minimum number of escorts to guarantee that all passengers reach their gates on time.
c.將問題分階段考慮
例3：We divide the jump into three phases: flying through the air, punching through the stack, and landing on the ground.
第二、三段：具體分析
1.在什麼模型中/ 建立了什麼模型
a. 主流模型
例1：We formulate a differential model to account for the rates of change of these uses, and how this change would affect the overall consumption of water within the studied region.
例2:We examined the mathematical effects of…… developed a detailed …… (simulation methodology)to test our ideas and to quantify the differences between (among) different…… (strategies).
例3：Based on (write your basis as the theory of supply and demand), we establish a model (such as differential equation system that includes demand, supply).
例4：To (write the aims), we establish a criterion (write the criterion).
b. 模型非主流
例5：We build a model to determine how to lay out the pipe each time the equipment is moved.
例6：We determine …………
例7：We build a model to determine……….
例8：We formulate a model for………By analyzing …and examining…..
2.分析模型(使用什麼資料，怎麼做，一般三句話)
a. 寫歷史資料
例1：Using historical data from the United States, we determine initial conditions for our model.
b. 寫計算機模擬
例1：this model leads to a computer simulation of catch-can tests of the irrigation system and ……
例2:Software packing reaches………by calculating and comparing………..
c. 運用資料模擬
