Our mission: At the Vancouver Youth Mathematical Modeling Association (VYMMA), we believe theoretical mathematics is more than a bundle of abstract principles – it is a powerful force which has the potential to shape and transform the real world. Our mission is to close the gap between theoretical learning and applications of the real world by teaching youths to integrate these two topics together and analyze the issue as a whole through generalized and abstract models of the real world. We provide a platform where like-minded students can work together to tackle complicated issues and provide innovative solutions. Through group projects, design activities, and innovative solutions, we are dedicated to ensure that our students are well-equipped with the tools to succeed.
