COMAP, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, is an award-winning non-profit organization whose mission is to improve mathematics education for students of all ages. Since 1980, COMAP has worked with teachers, students, and business people to create learning environments where mathematics is used to investigate and model real issues in our world.

Mathematical Modeling Handbook

The Mathematical Modeling Handbook is intended to support the implementation of the Common Core State Standards high school Mathematics Modeling conceptual category. The CCSS document provides a brief description of mathematical modeling accompanied by 22 star symbols (*) designating modeling standards and standard clusters. The CCSS approach is to interpret modeling “not as a collection of isolated topics but in relation to other standards.”

The goal of this Handbook is to aid teachers in implementing the CCSS approach by helping students to develop a modeling disposition, that is, to encourage recognition of mathematical opportunities in everyday events. The Handbook provides lessons and teachers’ notes for thirty modeling topics together with reference to specific CCSS starred standards for which the topics may be appropriate.  Learn More

Dynamic College Algebra (DynaMAP)

Dynamic College Algebra uses a modeling approach built around applications from technical fields such as semiconductor manufacturing and biotechnology. Each chapter begins with an engaging contextual problem that students explore in class or on their own via an Adobe Air simulation. Reflecting the realities of modern technical careers, Dynamic College Algebra integrates data analysis and spreadsheet technology throughout.  Learn More


Mathematics: Modeling Our World (MMOW) Course 1 & 2

Based on feedback from users of the first edition, COMAP has completed a major revision of Course 1, now available in both print and CD-ROM.

• Some units are completely rewritten (i.e., Pick a Winner and Landsat, which is now titled Scene from Above). Other units are streamlined while retaining the thematic, modeling approach.
• Most units are shorter. The revised Course 1 has a total of 57 Activities— a 39% reduction from first edition’s 93.  Learn More


NEW FREE course material A Course in Financial Mathematics

This is a free course in financial mathematics for upper high school and undergraduate students, with emphasis on personal finance. Teachers can make their own selections. Some of the lessons are articles published in various journals. Some are unpublished. This collection contains over forty lessons.
