Apply here : Applications are due May 15.
We invite high school students from around the Lowcountry area to apply to our week-long, non-residential Math Research Experience this summer! We are looking for students excited about solving new math problems.
Worried that you're unprepared? Don't be! We'll teach you what you need to know.
Camp participants will be divided into groups of three students each. Each group will have a mentor -- a high school teacher or a Citadel professor. The groups will work on solving problems from topics like Fibonacci sequences, number theory, and combinatorics through the week. During the camp, students will learn about the research process by solving open problems from publications such as The Fibonacci Quarterly, The American Mathematical Monthly, The College Mathematics Journal, Mathematics Magazine, and Math Horizons. The students will develop oral presentation skills through daily presentations to the other groups as well as a final presentation at the end of the week to teachers, family, and friends. Students will learn LaTeX, a scientific word processing software, to submit their solutions for publication.
