Camp Euclid - A Mathematics Research Camp

Difficulty Level: U N K N O W N

Meet and Collaborate Online

Camp Euclid is a mind-tingling mathematics research program for middle school and high school students. Participants will encounter solution-defying math problems (which have never been solved before). Mull over and grapple with tantalizingly difficult math problems within a circle of fellow researchers . . . .

"Camp Euclid definitely pushed me forward to become a more diligent, sophisticated, and hardworking student. Instead of being limited to the many math exercises provided in school, it provided me with an opportunity to confront a new level of challenges. It helped me to pursue new opportunities, when my educational opportunities were limited because of transportation and financial factors. Although it was very demanding to manage my online meeting time with other academic commitments, I was able to promptly deliver presentations and made some progress on an unsolved problem. In addition, it helped me to see the beauty of mathematics. While I assumed many of the solutions have been found for existing problems, it was amazing to see how there are so many unsolved problems, and it truly inspired me to improve my math skills to partially contribute to the processes of finding the answers for them." - GiHun Choi, Camp Euclid, Fall 2011

"Camp Euclid was my first time doing math research. It completely changed my perspective of math and taught me the basic principles of math research: patience, experiment and conjecture. The problems we worked on are fun, mind blowing but understandable. More importantly, I got to meet motivated math students from all over the nation. It's been half a year and I still keep in touch with a number of them." - Du Zhang, Camp Euclid, Fall 2011

"As far as I remember, I have always liked math. For me, the gush of satisfaction when I did well on standardized tests, solving a difficult problem, was the sweetest treat that made me forget all the hard brain-struggles. But this mere interest wavered if I didn't achieve well enough on tests. However, Camp Euclid presented me with a series of difficult questions that, not only us, but so many ingenious mathematicians have pondered upon. I wrote out many ideas and casted many experiments that seemed to be leading nowhere. But when I finally found the patterns and shared each of our discoveries with my teammates, putting the puzzle pieces together of this great enigma, I could feel the true joy of mathematics. Unlike what school has always taught me: Find the Answer, I learned how to appreciate the joy of this pattern-finding, the ability to connect some problems that might seem totally (crazily!) different, and the power of cooperation (as they say, 'more' brains are better than one) that led to a great many discoveries. It was well above worth it." - Jiyoun Jennifer Ha, Camp Euclid, Summer 2011

"More than just learning and discussing math, Camp Euclid shows students what real mathematical research is like. It encourages students to delve into topics far beyond high school depth. The camp introduces students to worlds they never knew existed." - Brian Liou, Camp Euclid, Spring 2011
