MathPath

His goal was to inspire and advance the most mathematically gifted middle school age students, through a summer camp.

At MathPath, students learn about many math topics that are rarely taught in American schools, or not taught in much depth, such as non-Euclidean geometry, advanced Euclidean geometry, number theory, combinatorics, induction, spherical trigonometry, mathematical origami, and the mathematics of card shuffling.

Notable regular staff include the late John Horton Conway, Sam Vandervelde, and Glen Van Brummelen.

Notable visiting mathematicians have included Gene Abrams and Robin Hartshorne.

The primary criterion for admission is the applicant's work on the yearly Qualifying Test, though academic and nonacademic references are also required.
