Summary Sheet: The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICM paper. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary.To write a good summary, imagine that a reader will choose whether to read the body of the paper based on your summary: Your concise presentation in the summary should inspire a reader to learn about the details of your work. Thus, a summary should clearly describe your approach to the problem and, most prominently, your most important conclusions. Summaries that are mere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.4.摘要摘要是 MCM 参赛论文的一个非常重要的部分。在评卷过程中，摘要占据了相当大的比重，以至于有的时候获奖论文之所以能在众多论文中脱颖而出是因为其高质量的摘要。好的摘要可以使读者通过摘要就能判断自己是否要通读论文的正文部分。如此一来，摘要就必须清楚的描述解决问题的方法，显著的表达论文中最重要的结论。摘要应该能够激发出读者阅读论文详细内容的兴趣。那些简单重复比赛题目和复制粘贴引言中的样板文件的摘要一般将被认为是没有竞争力的。Besides the summary sheet as described each paper should contain the following sections:除了摘要页以外每篇论文还需要包括以下的一些部分：l Restatement and clarification of the problem: State in your own words what you are going to do.再次重述或者概括问题用你自己的话重述你将要解决的问题。l Explain assumptions and rationale/justification: Emphasize the assumptions that bear on the problem. Clearly list all variables used in your model.对于基本原理以及证明的假设着重陈述在解决问题中提出的假设，清晰的列出所有在模型中应用到的变量。l Include your model design and justification for type model used or developed.对于已经用过的或者应用到的模型的构建与证明。l Describe model testing and sensitivity analysis,including error analysis, etc.模型的测试与灵敏度分析，包括误差分析等。l Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your model or approach.关于模型或求解方法的优缺点讨论5. The judges will evaluate the quality of your writing in the Solution Paper:· Conciseness and organization are extremely important.· Key statements should present major ideas and results.· Present a clarification or restatement of the problem, as appropriate.· Present a clear exposition of all variables, assumptions, and hypotheses.· Present an analysis of the problem, including the motivation or justification for the model that is used.· Include a design of the model.· Discuss how the model could be tested, including error analysis and stability(conditioning, sensitivity, etc.).· Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses in your model or approach.5.评委对于论文写作的评判主要考虑以下几个方面：简明扼要、有组织是极为重要的。文章正文必须给出主要的解决方案构想和结果。需适当的简化或重申问题。 一个清晰的变量和假设的列表需包括如何通过调整使得模型付诸于实际应用这个问题的分析。需包括模型的设计方案。讨论如何进行模型测试，包括误差分析与稳定性（适用条件，灵敏度等）。讨论模型及求解方法的显著优缺点。6. Papers must be typed in English , single or double sided with a readable font of (11 or 12).6.论文需按规范的格式用英文书写，单面或者双面，用可读的字体，字号为11或12。7. The solution must consist entirely of written text, and possibly figures, charts, or other written material, on paper only. No non-paper support materials such as computer files or disks will be accepted.7.整个解决方案必须由正文主体部分、必要的图形、图表或其他类型的材料组成且只能以论文形式递交。不是论文形式的材料如计算机文件或磁盘等将不被接受。8. The Solution paper must display the team control number and the page number at the top of every page; for example, use the following page header on each page:Team #321 Page 6 of 138.解决方案的每一页的顶部都需要有参赛队的控制编号以及页码。我们建议在每页上使用页眉，例如： Team #321 Page6 of 139. The names of the students, advisor, or institution should NOT appear on any page of the print solut
