We invite high school teachers from around the Lowcountry area to apply to our week-long, non-residential Math Research Experience this summer! We are looking for teachers excited about solving new math problems and about mentoring students.
Worried that you're unprepared to be a mentor or to do research? Don't be! We'll be supporting you through this process.
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.
Teachers will attend mentoring training with the Citadel faculty prior to the camp. Teachers and faculty will discuss the problems and develop strategies for mentoring students.
