Canada/USA Mathcamp: Research in Pairs and Scholarships for Students

加拿大/美国数学营是一项为期五周的强化暑期计划，面向数学方面有天赋的高中生。每年，MathCamp将来自美国、加拿大和世界各地的110-120名优秀青少年聚集在一起，并为他们创造一个可以“生活和呼吸数学”的环境。对于这些学生中的许多人来说，无论是在智力上还是在社交方面，这都是一次改变人生的经历，他们中的大多数人在进入MathCamp之前从未经历过真正的同龄人群体。该项目每年夏天在不同的大学校园举行；从所有专业(从博士后到超级明星研究人员)招募在职数学家来参观一周，并参与数学教学。在MathCamp接触到在职数学家有助于满足学生的智力需求，因为他们中的许多人在国内没有数学资源来追求自己的兴趣。该奖项包括两个部分。该奖项的第一个组成部分是一个“成对研究”计划，该计划将支持成对的数学合作者访问MathCamp。除了授课，这些参观者在逗留期间将致力于他们的研究，主要有两个目标：(1)在研究方面取得进展，(2)使我们的学生能够看到新数学的产生。该奖项的第二部分为来自目标外展群体(女孩、代表性不足的少数族裔，以及来自代表性不足的原籍社区、经济困难背景或表现不佳的学校的学生)的美国学生提供奖学金。总而言之，该奖项的两个组成部分将允许来自目标外展群体的有才华的学生与在MathCamp从事积极研究的榜样互动。

Canada/USA Mathcamp is an intensive five-week summer program for mathematically talented high school students. Every year, Mathcamp brings together 110-120 exceptional teenagers from the United States, Canada, and around the world, and creates an environment where they can "live and breathe mathematics". Both intellectually and socially, it is a life-changing experience for many of these students, most of whom have never had a true peer group before coming to Mathcamp. The program takes place on a different college campus each summer; working mathematicians are recruited from across all specialties (and ranging from postdocs to superstar researchers) to visit for a week and participate in the mathematics instruction. Access to working mathematicians at Mathcamp helps meet an intellectual need for the students, many of whom do not have the mathematical resources at home to pursue their interests.This award has two components. The first component of the award is a "Research in Pairs" program, which will support visits to Mathcamp by pairs of mathematical collaborators. In addition to teaching a class, these visitors will work on their research during their stay, with two main goals: (1) achieving progress on research, and (2) making the production of new mathematics visible to our students. The second component of the award provides scholarships for U.S. students from target outreach groups (girls, underrepresented minorities, and students from underrepresented communities of origin, economically disadvantaged backgrounds or underperforming schools). Taken together, the two components of this award will allow talented students from target outreach groups to interact with role models engaged in active research at Mathcamp.
