UAF's team got off to a rough start this year, according to team member Seth Chadwick, a senior in computer science. Teams are allowed to use reference materials, but cannot solicit input from anyone outside of the team, including their advisers.
Participants have 96 hours to research one of two modeling problems, develop a solution and submit a formal paper summarizing their findings. The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve math education for all students, hosts the contest.
UAF teams have been awarded the "outstanding" designator six previous times-in 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995, 19. The team's top finish was lucky number seven for UAF and the first in nearly a decade. The team also won the INFORMS prize for its work developing an algorithm to generate Sudoku puzzles of varying difficulty. The team earned the annual competition's highest designation-outstanding-finishing in the top nine out of 1,162 teams.

UAF undergraduates Rachel Krieg, Christopher Granade and Seth Chadwick demonstrate a soduko puzzle they created which won them top honors from more than 1,000 teams participating in a worldwide applied mathematics competition.
