Welcome

Welcome to the Canada/USA Mathcamp subforum. This is a forum for all things Mathcamp: questions (for MC alumni or staff) from prospective students or parents, discussions among alumni, etc.

I'm David Savitt, the deputy director of Mathcamp; in my day job, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at McGill University, specializing in number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry. A second moderator will likely be added later this week.

For now, I should mention that the Mathcamp 2005 qualifying quiz and online application should go live by the end of this week. Keep your eyes on the Mathcamp website, http://www.mathcamp.org , for further details.

Thanks for moderating the forum. I've got a guy on my math team too young for MathCamp this year (he is applying to MathPath), but I have heard a lot of great things about MathCamp and am encouraging him to think about MathCamp for the future.

I attended Mathcamp as a guest speaker in 2004. When I first arrived, one of the students I knew from speaking at his high school told me, 'Mathcamp makes the rest of the school year look so bad. Even the good stuff looks bad.' From what I saw while there, I can understand his sentiment.

Those of you who are curious about Mathcamp should ask your questions in this forum - in addition to the administrators of the camp, our site has dozens and dozens of Mathcamp alums who can answer your questions.

If you mean, "Can I come to Mathcamp if I live in Vietnam?", the answer is yes. There were quite a few international students last year.
