'''MathWorks Math Modeling (M3) Challenge''' is an [[applied mathematics]] modeling contest open to high school students across the United States (including US territories and DoDEA schools). It is sponsored by The [[MathWorks]] (a leading developer of mathematical computing software) based in Boston and organized by the [[Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics]] (SIAM) based in [[Philadelphia]]. The M3 Challenge awards $100,000 in scholarship prizes each year to the top teams. An additional incentive is the recognition that the winning teams receive. The winning paper from 2008 was published in the [[College Mathematics Journal]] and a representative from High Tech's team appeared on [[FOX Business Channel]], 2010 winners were interviewed by Pimm Fox of Bloomberg radio, presented its findings at Lockheed Martin's Data Capture Center, met with U.S. Census Bureau Director Dr. Robert Groves, and had their research published in SIAM's prestigious undergraduate publication, SIAM Undergraduate Research Online (SIURO), the 2011 and 2012 winners were interviewed by Pimm Fox of Bloomberg radio, and the 2014 winners were interviewed by both Pimm Fox and Carol Massar on Bloomberg radio.
