A Summer Program in Mathematics and Computer Science for Academically Oriented Students Held in Washington, District of Columbia on 25 June-27 July 1990
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to implement an intensive pre-college intervention program for academically talented students, mainly ninth and tenth grade students from the District of Columbia area, that is designed to increase their representation in mathematics-based careers. By offering the program at this grade level, the students are able to take more rigorous math courses while in high school. The goals of the project are (1) to strengthen the students' backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, and statistics and operations research, (2) to improve their academic skills with an emphasis on reasoning competencies, (3) to increase their awareness of careers in mathematics-based fields and of the preparation needed for these fields, and (4) to encourage and motivate these students to enroll in calculus track courses while in high school.
