Mathematics Camp
The Arizona Summer Mathematics Camp is a two-week
introduction to mathematical research for students just completing the eighth
grade. In the first week students will
work on elementary research problems.
They will learn how to use the computer as a tool for mathematical
exploration as they work on problems.
For the second week individuals and groups will be assigned a particular
mathematical problem. Students will
solve the problem, write a report on their findings, and make a presentation to
their colleagues, parents, and visitors.
At the end of the camp, each student will receive copies of all the
reports written during the camp.
