PZMC Number Theory
PZ Math Camp – Number Theory is a residential math camp for about 28-35 mathematically gifted 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. Applications are due in April, and selected participants will be notified by early May.
Math gets a bad rap. Although math is often equated with equations, memorization, and long calculations, that’s a highly limited view. In reality, math is a way of viewing and interacting with the world – with logic, rigorous thinking, and precision. It’s about looking for patterns, making conjectures, asking questions, and problem solving.
In this camp, we explore the beauty of numbers & mathematical thinking to see how much broader math really is. We’ll discover mathematical thinking in areas like voting and elections, nature, art, cake cutting, geometry, games, coding, infinity, origami, and more.
Each day at camp will be a mix of games, exploration, and mathematical discovery, both inside and outside the classroom.
