Mathematical Modeling for Heatwave Prediction and Resource Allocation - Winchester College Team

Watch this 23-minute presentation by the Winchester College Team (#17781) from Winchester, Hampshire, England, who won the Technical Computing Award in the 2025 MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge. Discover how this talented team used mathematical modeling to predict temperature changes during heatwaves and developed resource allocation plans to minimize the effects of heat waves and power grid failures. The presentation showcases the team's winning solution from a competition that involved more than 3,600 students across 794 teams. The MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge (M3 Challenge) is a prestigious Internet-based competition organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and sponsored by MathWorks, offering over $100,000 or £75,000 in scholarships to top teams in the U.S. and U.K. The competition challenges junior/senior or sixth form students to spend up to 14 hours developing solutions to real-world problems using mathematical modeling.
