PZMC- PZ Number Theory Camp

Visit Website Request Info

PZMC (formerly run as Williams College Math Camp ) is a 12-day
residential math camp held at Williams College in MA for about 25
mathematically talented high school students who have completed or are
currently enrolled in Algebra 2 or its equivalent. Students will be
exposed to several different areas of mathematics through colloquia and
other activities, but the primary focus of the camp will be Number
Theory & The Art of Mathematical Thinking. Students will learn to
explore the theory of numbers by asking thoughtful questions, working
out examples, looking for patterns, making conjectures, and finally,
proving their results. A typical day at math camp includes the following:
group problem-solving sessions, interactive lectures with ample time for
student-driven mathematical discovery, a math talk by an award-winning
mathematician or a panel discussion on what it’s like to major in
mathematics at college, and plenty of time for fun including
hiking, museum trips, and a math movie night!
