Summer Programs attended by Math Circle students and alums

There are many terrific summer programs that may interest math circle students. Most are at least partly subsidized by grants and/or offer need-based financial aid. A few are free.

The Art of Problem Solving website maintains an extensive list of excellent math summer programs around the country. Here is a link to an excellent panel discussion in which the speakers included leaders of Canada/USA MathCamp, Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics, Math Olympiad Summer Program, PROMYS, Ross, and Stanford University Mathematics Camp.

Albany Area Math Circle members have attended many of these programs, and you may want to talk to one of the students or alumni listed below about their experiences if you are considering applying to one of them.
