数模日记 -- day10~13

 这四天感觉投入自己很大的精力。

但从结果上来看并不让自己满意，仿佛训练下来每道题都让我充满了失落和负能量。

2016 MCM A: A Hot Bath

A person fills a bathtub with hot waterfrom a single faucet and settles into the bathtub to cleanse and relax.Unfortunately, the bathtub is not a spa-style tub with a secondary heatingsystem and circulating jets, but rather a simple water containment vessel.After a while, the bath gets noticeably cooler, so the person adds a constanttrickle of hot water from the faucet to reheat the bathing water. The bathtubis designed in such a way that when the tub reaches its capacity, excess waterescapes through an overflow drain.

Develop a model of the temperature of thebathtub water in space and time to determine the best strategy the person inthe bathtub can adopt to keep the temperature even throughout the bathtub andas close as possible to the initial temperature without wasting too much water.

Use your model to determine the extent towhich your strategy depends upon the shape and volume of the tub, theshape/volume/temperature of the person in the bathtub, and the motions made bythe person in the bathtub. If the person used a bubble bath additive while initiallyfilling the bathtub to assist in cleansing, how would this affect your model’sresults?

In addition to the required one-pagesummary for your MCM submission, your report must include a one-pagenon-technical explanation for users of the bathtub that describes your strategywhile explaining why it is so difficult to get an evenly maintained temperaturethroughout the bath water.

 我花费了大量时间在建立一个可视化的物理模型上，而并没有抓住问题的本质（连续最优化）。这让我在最后，没有办法去面对接连而来的问题。我迫切地想呈现一个能反应水温在浴缸中具体分布情况的模型，也让队友陪我一同把时间花费在理解物理规律上，最

后模型的分析和检验都草草了事。导致很多部分无话可说，文章最终只有15页。

 晚上，我在等待队友翻译的过程中，我翻了翻舍友的两本书《matlab在数学建模中的运用》《数学建模优秀论文分析》，感触颇

深，精与建模的人们写出的东西，太高大上，生怯。

 照常，贴上 一段翻译。

一些人生的感悟

 究竟是什么，让我感到如此绝望？是无知，或懒惰嘛？
