The program offers personalized mentorship from UCSD Math PhD candidates and provides a certificate of completion and recommendation letters for college applications.
The UCSD Math Summer Program for High School Students offers a virtual experience where participants delve into engaging math books under the guidance of PhD candidates from the UCSD math department. The program aims to help students explore various mathematical concepts, enhance their high school math background, or prepare for college-level mathematics. Students will gain insights from professional mathematicians, interact with like-minded peers, and develop oral presentation and communication skills. Upon completion, students receive a certificate and can request recommendation letters for college applications and scholarships.
The program provides two reading tracks: a basic track for enhancing high school math learning and an advanced track for exploring college-level math. Each mentor supervises a team of up to five students, fostering a collaborative learning environment. The curriculum covers a variety of topics, including Combinatorics, Trigonometry, Probability, Precalculus, and Number Theory, with the flexibility to explore other areas based on student interest.
Students meet online with their mentor and a small team of peers to discuss interesting math books and concepts, with approximately 15 hours of online meetings over the entire program duration.
This program is ideal for high school students interested in exploring mathematics, enhancing their math background, or preparing for college-level math, who enjoy reading and collaborative learning.
