The Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics (HCSSiM) is an intensive six-week residential program at Hampshire College in Massachusetts for talented high school students passionate about advanced mathematics. Students spend six days a week immersed in college-level math, with four hours of morning classes, evening problem sessions, and the beloved daily Prime Time Theorem, where a new mathematical result is presented before dinner. Afternoons are reserved for independent study and recreation, creating a balance between rigorous academics and community life. HCSSiM is one of the most selective and enriching math programs available to high school students, offering financial aid to ensure talented students from all backgrounds can attend.
