以2014年美国大学生数学建模竞赛（MCM／ICM）为例，介绍该竞赛的由来以及对于物理学系学生的参与意义，详细阐述和讨论了2014年交叉学科建模竞赛（ICM）的题目及解题思路，展现了物理视角在数学建模中的优势．

英文摘要：

By taking our experience of participation in the interdisciplinary contest in modeling （ICM） 2014 as an example, we introduce the contest and show the benefits of participation in it for a student in department of phys- ics. We describe the problem of ICM 2014 and the method to solve it in detail. In this way,we prove the advantage of thinking in a physics way in mathematical modeling.
