CMT's Summer Math Program for Young Scholars Program is an intensive in-person 3-week long summer program for mathematically talented high school students. It provides a mathematically rich environment to high school students interested in mathematics, and is designed to encourage them to consider careers in the mathematical sciences. In this program, selected high school students in grades 9­ through 11 are introduced to undergraduate level math topics while building problem solving skills. In past years, topics included, but are not limited to number theory, group theory, graph theory, knots and surfaces, and computer science. All lectures will be led by Courant faculty. Each lecture will be followed by a problem session led by a graduate student teaching assistant where students will work collaboratively in groups. One session every week is set aside for mathematical games and puzzles. There is also a talk at the end of each day, covering topics about how math is used in different fields of science as well as college admissions and college life. Academically strong applicants coming from underserved communities are especially encouraged to apply. It is a non credit college program and does not provide housing.

Current high school students in grades 9, 10 and 11 who are interested in learning advanced mathematical ideas are invited to apply.
