Ross Mathematics Program

Multiple6 weeks

The Ross Mathematics Program is a six-week intensive summer program that immerses motivated pre-college students in deep mathematical thinking and discovery. Held at two sites (Otterbein University in Columbus, Ohio and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana), students spend the summer exploring advanced mathematical concepts and developing rigorous logical reasoning skills. The program emphasizes genuine mathematical exploration rather than rote learning, building critical thinking abilities that extend far beyond mathematics itself. It is one of the most selective and respected pre-college mathematics programs in the country.
