Before liftoff, someone had to calculate reentry. In this Year of Math spotlight, we explore how Katherine Johnson’s modeling work helped make spaceflight possible, and what it teaches us about modeling today. Read more: comap.org/blog/blog-2/it… #YearOfMath #MathModeling #NASA

Data science isn’t just about algorithms. It’s about learning to think like a modeler. Amanda Beecher breaks down why #MathModeling is such a powerful foundation for #DataScience students, and how educators can build those skills early. Read the post: comap.org/blog/blog-2/it…

What’s a problem that’s been bugging you lately? That’s often where math modeling starts: questioning assumptions, constraints, and hidden variables. Maybe it’s not just a complaint. Maybe it’s a problem worth modeling. Read more: comap.org/blog/blog-2/it… #MathModeling #STEM

Math modeling does more than strengthen problem-solving. It gives students a way to test interests, discover strengths, and prepare for real-world careers. 👉 Read more: comap.org/blog/blog-2/it… #MathModeling #CareerDevelopment #ProblemSolving

Can a math model be biased? We often assume math is neutral. But models reflect assumptions, data choices, and decisions. Before asking if a model is “right,” ask: what did we decide along the way? Read more: comap.org/blog/blog-2/it… #Math #MathModeling #CriticalThinking
