BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:ics.py - http://git.io/lLljaA BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Free pizza will be provided at noon outside Tutt Science for attendees of the event! The talks will begin at 12:30. \n\nThe Department of Math and Computer Science presents talks in the first and second weeks of each block in a series called "Fearless Fridays." This week brings a special event: Math/CS students themselves will be presenting their recent work from the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM)! Please join us in supporting and learning from these students/peers.\n\n\nThe order of the presentations\, and the summaries of the questions they answer\, are as follows:\n\n\nJingyi Liu\, Felix Li\, and Esa Chen -- MCM Problem A: Power Profile of a Cyclist\n\nThere are various roles when it comes to cycling\, such as: time trial specialist\, climber\, sprinter\, rouleur\, puncheur\, and each type of rider has a distinct power curve. Teams were asked to develop a model that can be applied to any type of rider that determines the relationship between the rider’s position on the course and the power the rider applies. Teams were asked to consider the rider’s limit on the total energy that can be expended over the course\, as well as limits that accumulate from past aggressiveness and for exceeding the power curve limits.\n\n\nJoshua McFeeters\, Eric Tang and Haoru Yang -- ICM Problem E: Forestry for Carbon Sequestration\n\nTeams were asked to develop guidance for forest managers around the world trying to figure out how to utilize and manage their forests. The guidance was to be flexible in view of the make-up of forests\, climates\, populations\, interests\, and values that vary widely. Teams were asked to develop a carbon sequestration model to forecast carbon dioxide sequestering over time\, with a goal to find the most effective model. Evaluation of “best” was to be assisted with a decision model to inform forest managers of the best use of a forest\, m a way that balances various ways that forests are valued. Teams were encouraged to consider harvesting plans that are a decade longer than current practices\, and to include a strategy for transitioning from the existing timeline to the new timeline in a way that is sensitive to the needs of forest managers and all who use the forest.\n\n\nDavidson Cheng and Yinting Zhong (collaborated with Surbhi Bhutani) -- ICM Problem F: All for One and One (Space) for All!\n\nUnder the assumption that we live in a future world where Asteroid Mining is technically and economically feasible\, how should we consider global equity\, and how will asteroid mining impact it? Teams were asked to answer these questions\, and develop policies to propose to the United Nations propose to increase global equity in a future with asteroid mining.\n\n\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/4545 DTEND:20220506T193000Z LOCATION:Tutt Science 122 - Lecture Hall DTSTART:20220506T183000Z SUMMARY:Student Presentations from Mathematical Contest in Modeling UID:424be496-900e-42cb-91b2-50e54fb9115b END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
