The Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) is a selective summer program for rising high school juniors and seniors passionate about advanced mathematics. Participants engage in intensive study through lectures, guided research, and group problem-solving, exploring topics such as abstract algebra, number theory, and algebraic topology. The program offers both online and residential options, each providing a rigorous academic experience complemented by opportunities for social interaction and community building.
Using equations and formulas to represent and predict real-world situations.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Designing studies, testing hypotheses, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
Evaluating information carefully before drawing a conclusion or making a decision.
Guiding a group toward a shared goal and keeping everyone moving together.
Advanced mathematics is foundational to theoretical physics and problem-solving in physical sciences.
Mathematical modeling and advanced quantitative reasoning are essential tools for data science work.
Abstract algebra and mathematical foundations underpin algorithm design and computational problem-solving.
Intensive engagement with advanced mathematical research and guided study mirrors academic mathematics research.
