June 28 to August 8, 2009
Students say:
"More than just the knowledge I gained in class, HCSSiM has taught me a whole new way of viewing and learning math."
Kirin Sinha, '08
"Though I have only been here for slightly longer than two weeks, I've already managed to learn more math than I did in the first two years of high school."
Matt Redmond, '08
"I've never been around so many people who love math as much as I do, and It's great. Nobody's afraid to be who they are. And everyone's a bit eccentric, in a very good sense of the word. The people here are just interesting and exhilarating to be around."
Mika Sumida, '08
"The skills and the practice I gained here will extend to math contests and so much farther...HCSSiM has helped me to understand what math really is about."
Tim Reynolds, '07
"Math makes me happier than anything else, and I don't think it would give me the same pleasure had I not experienced HCSSiM."
Emily Berger, '06
"Here I was encouraged to think creatively, appreciate the beauty of mathematics, but most importantly discover concepts for myself."
Azi Horowitz, '05, '06
"HCSSiM helped me build a rock-solid base for my mathematical education. I left the program feeling unstoppable, completely prepared to dive into whatever math would present itself next."
Hannah Alpert, '04, '05, '06
"I was drawn into a tightly knit network of math-crazed weirdos with a fondness for Ultimate Frisbee, and I was happier than I had ever been in my life."
Louis Wasserman, '06
