UMTYMP Summer Camp

We are pleased to announce the return of our UMTYMP Summer Program, for students who are completing UMTYMP Algebra or Precalculus during the 2023-2024 school year.

The summer program will broaden students’ mathematical horizons by introducing them to a wide range of stimulating mathematics.  Members of the UMTYMP instructional staff will present some of their favorite mathematical gems at a level appropriate for UMTYMP students. How does Google Maps find the fastest route from Point A to Point B?  What does a simple video game like Asteroids teach us about the shape of the universe?  What would it be like to run a hotel with infinitely many rooms? What can origami teach us about geometry?
