Financial Aid

SUMaC leads participants on a journey in advanced mathematics through lectures, guided research, and group problem solving. In an online environment centered on mathematics, participants explore current lines of mathematical research, the historical development of important areas of mathematics, and applications across scientific disciplines.
When you attend Stanford University Mathematics Camp, not only will you engage in deep exploration of mathematics and develop as a mathematician, but you will be immersed in a community of others who share your mathematical talent and curiosity. For three weeks you will participate in online classes, make new friends, and be challenged intellectually. Many participants say the experience changed their lives.

Intensive Exploration:
The SUMaC courses focus on pure mathematics—that is, mathematics that is motivated independently of ties to other sciences; nonetheless, important applications are introduced and pursued along the way.

Real-Time Online Instruction:
Courses meet for two hours each day (Monday–Friday) for live, online classroom discussion with their instructor and peers. Students will also engage in daily problem sets, work with Stanford graduate students who serve as teaching assistants, and attend virtual guest lectures from mathematicians and others who use mathematics in their respective fields.

College-Level Workload:
Similar to what they would experience in a college course, students can expect a heavy and engaging workload of assignments to work on outside of the live class meeting times.

Student Engagement:
Active participation is key to creating an online community of engaged learners, and students are expected to participate in class and to collaborate with their peers, instructors, and teaching assistants.
