But to be fair, I don't think anybody knows. PROMYS 2021 will run online from July 4 - August 14, 2021. Mathcamp is good for variety (sampling a wide range of courses), PROMYS is good for depth (number theory). I definitely want to learn math over the summer and not just "hang out" with other people. If you're not sure whether you're a good fit for a math camp, here's a super easy way to find out: Go to Mathcamp's website and try to solve a problem or two from their Qualifying Quiz. (But don't worry, Calculus isn't a prerequisite!) The former is oriented towards math competition preparation.

I looked into Awesome Math Camp but it doesn't seem as good as PROMYS...

,

Don't want to hijack this thread, but i think this might be somewhat relevant.

I'm also taking precalculus right now, but I'm a junior already. I feel like a lot of them go back to a few basics, but I might have to refresh my memory to get a slight grasp on them. Instead, I'd suggest you pick 1 or 2 camps that appeal to you the most and really focus on the application. If somebody refused to perform / their act was half-hearted (somebody just recited all the UC's), they were "defaulted". Is PROMYS PSA Software the right Professional Services Automation solution for your business? You can only apply once you get rejected from MathILy, but your application gets reused. IF YOU LIKE MATH: consider attending a math camp! The stuff they put on their website is not at all exaggerated. If not, probably none. These programs are 1) definitely NOT just a cash grab. Generally if you are accepted into a program then you can handle the work, but it is up to you to put the time in.

,

I can't even qualify for AIME, and I'm a sophomore. I focused on abstract algebra and theoretical computer science (my two main areas of interest), but also enjoyed courses on the p-adics, history of math (basically the only "soft" class offered), probability theory, and counterexamples in analysis. The only bad thing I can say about the program is that the first two weeks, called root class, doesn't offer much to people who already know linear algebra or have attended the program before. The PROMYS Foundation is also able to accept donations from outside the United States. If you guys apply, good luck with the applications! Mathcamp, PROMYS and Ross all accept around 60 first year students. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the HSSummerPrograms community. In 2015, there were 12 first-year students, 4 returning students (see below for more about the CMI-PROMYS Scholars), and 5 counsellors. AIME is purely competition math and is based on knowing tricks of the trade and basically doing a lot of problems. You can have the fun you want to have if you find the right people. PROMYS Europe. If you enjoy tackling the problems--even if you don't solve any--you would have a great time at any math camp. If you are looking to learn a lot of math and work hard then this program is for you.

I'm thinking of applying to PROMYS, but I'm not sure that if I make it in (and that's a big IF) that I'll be able to handle the work. Mathcampers love Mathcamp. Finally, I know somebody who was accepted to PROMYS and rejected from Ross. PROMYS Europe Connect 2021 We are delighted to announce PROMYS Europe Connect for 2021. Promys soft s.r.o. Both taught me a lot and were lots of fun. Great post and recommendations (although it seems you may have double posted accidentally), I'm actually applying to all of the programs you mentioned (other than Mathpath and maybe SuMAC)! AIME is purely competition math and is based on knowing tricks of the trade and basically doing a lot of problems. That would be the person I would ask for a recommendation if I decide to apply. PROMYS will really teach you to be a research mathematician. Oops, you're right I did double post. PROMYS is a challenging program designed to encourage ambitious high school students to explore the creative world of mathematics. Everybody had to perform, so acts ranged from comedy skits to magic tricks involving twins. During both, I had a great time and had some small-scale epiphanies. I'm taking precalculus in school (but the class is really slow and I'm not learning much) and I'm taking a number theory class outside of school which I find extremely difficult.

,

So I was wondering how hard the PROMYS classes are because there are number theory lectures every morning. A more constructive way of boosting your chances is making your application test the best it can be. They're selective (<10-20% for most), well-regarded in the math community and offer generous aid.2) teach you REAL MATH that goes way beyond AP Calculus BC. The test, the Exam Assessing Readiness (EAR), is short and fun, designed to test your math ability during the time period a class would run (four hours), so it's simple to apply. I'm okay at competition math but not so sure about theoretical. Some of the problems are probably based on fairly elementary concepts, but ones used in odd ways. It all boils down to the community. Honestly you are sending mixed messages so I can't fairly judge you. PROMYS Europe Partners. They are the real deal. There is no real harm in applying.

What's definitely important at Ross, and presumably important at PROMYS, is a willingness to work steadily and THINK about what you are doing. I was probably in the upper quintile (maybe even decile) in terms of how much time I spent on math: I spent 8+ solid hours on the problem sets. I wouldn't have enjoyed the math I learned at Mathcamp nearly as much if I had not attended PROMYS beforehand, because PROMYS paved the way for me to be able to learn the high-level stuff in the first place. Have you ever attended PROMYS or applied to it or do you know anyone who has?

,

I have attended Ross, which is a similar program(PROMYS is an offshoot of Ross). I've taken a look at the application problems and I really don't know if I could solve them. We remind you that some employers will match employee donations. tl;dr for the tl;dr: Sorry for the long post. When I went to Mathcamp last year, the acceptance rate was just under 15%. You may optionally connect the device to your corporate LAN with the RJ45 connector. PROMYS.cz Vážení zákazníci, vítejte na stránkách společnosti PROMYS, s.r.o. PROMYS Europe welcomed its first students to Oxford in the summer of 2015, and continued to run every summer since. Glad to hear it! PROMYS is theoretical math, something completely different. But it's hard to say which trip was better, since both were completely different. I went to MathPath! If you want to know more (especially about Mathcamp/PROMYS), PM me / ask me to write-up a more detailed post somewhere. About a third of the program was international, with students from Serbia, Canada, India, China, Poland, and Greece, so the program is super diverse and interesting. PROMYS. Promys is easy to use & implement and scales from ten to hundreds of users. Unless you have done a lot of contest or advanced math do not try your normal approach to solving the problems because it most likely won't work. Very robust reporting. (I say 400%, because usually 4 classes run per class block, and all of them are fascinating.). Overall though, it was probably the best five weeks of my life, and I learned tons about mathematics. Here's the tl;dr of my experiences at Mathcamp and PROMYS. The ratio of math to free time was different for every person. Edit: This is both a blessing and a curse. Presumably, the other camps would be around the 20% range. About Us. Setup. I got the same score both times I took the AMC. ), weekly field trips, and a game room overflowing with games that was always buzzing with activity. Both PROMYS programs will accommodate between 70-100 students. Do you lag behind in math or do you excel? MathILy has a sister program, MathILy-er for less strong students, which I hear is also amazing. In the short term, Mathcamp is more enjoyable. Have you done any competitions - like AMC or AIME?

,

Just apply to the program and then see if you are accepted or not. You should get this splash screen. Mathcamp has more planned (but optional) fun activities, PROMYS provides a sparse non-academic framework. You now have all of the time that you would have spent studying for them. Like ras22 said, competition math is doing problems and knowing tricks but number theory is a lot of proofs and it's entirely different.

,

ras22: Zabýváme se především výrobou montáží na zbraně, puškařskými pracemi, prodejem zbraní, prodejem náhradních dílů, střeliva, puškohledů, ale i služby s tím spojené, a to zejména nástřel zbraní, montáže, úpravy, renovace. But then again, I lag in everything <_<

AIME and promys are not related. The PROMYS Foundation was started in 2011 by a group of PROMYS alumni with the goal of supporting the PROMYS Program.We provide financial support to the PROMYS family of programs, and we develop partnerships to create mentoring, outreach, and international offshoot programs that are strongly rooted in the PROMYS philosophy. Outside of class, Mathcamp had a LOT of activities. Should I apply? About a month?

,

Oh, and I failed to qualify for AIME by just a few points. Really. As a result, trying to pick the camp with the highest acceptance rate / applying to all camps and hoping the "shotgun approach" gets you in somewhere isn't as an effective strategy as it is for applying to, say, the Ivies. Most of the math programs are equally hard to get into. Mathcamp has a better social scene than PROMYS for both social butterflies and super shy people. The math isn't like algebra, trig and calculus from school: it's more similar to competition math (AMC 8/10/12, AIME) and puzzles (e.g. Admission Process & Decision. We were looking forward with great excitement to gathering exceptionally talented students and counsellors in person for six weeks of exciting mathematics at PROMYS India this May. Pros: Prior to implementing Promys PSA our biggest challenge was the lack of visibility and coordination between departments.Having several different disconnected business software solutions resulted in a constant Easter egg hunt for the most current data on billable time, managed services contract profitability, renewal dates and project profitability. You practice writing math, since you're turning in problem sets every day of the week. Mathcamp, PROMYS and Ross all accept around 60 first year students. At PROMYS, the social scene revolved more around the problem sets. Connect a Promys device to a TV set, power both on. Prior to implementing Promys PSA our biggest challenge was the lack of visibility and coordination between departments. .. . PROMYS Europe is a partnership of PROMYS, Wadham College and the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford, and the Clay Mathematics Institute.

Deliver a seamless customer experience with the only Enterprise PSA Software that integrates CRM, Quoting, Help Desk, Resource Scheduling, I nventory Tracking, Billing, Project Management, Procurement, and Analytics Reporting. It is a programme designed to encourage mathematically ambitious secondary school students to explore the creative world of mathematics. For me, both camps gave me a breath of fresh air after the monotony of my school year. That's anecdotal evidence though and might be meaningless. There were also lots of spontaneously organized events including sports (ultimate frisbee, capture the flag, random workouts), cooking / eating things people cooked, games of Mafia, pranks, etc. (HCSSiM is smaller; they accept around 45.) Good luck with the applications! If and only if you love math, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you attend. (She left due to mismanagement at HCSSiM, she had a post on it on her website but deleted it when she started MathILy. Mathcamp has almost as many returning campers as students. See user ratings and reviews now! Below are the expected deadlines: March 15th, 2021 is the expected application deadline for 2021. Rubik's cube). Promys PSA has given me better visibility and controls to manage the profitability of my business. When you choose Promys you’ve committed to lift your profitability, increase your cash flow, reduce bank financing, delight your customers, and stand out from your competitors. And you can learn SO MUCH about the process of doing math if you work for it. (I'm currently a senior in high school who went to PROMYS and Mathcamp and got deferred from MIT.) So Mathcamp was more enjoyable. You get lots of feedback on your math, since your counselor looks over your problem set and returns it the very next day. If you are looking to learn some math, but mostly have fun with other teens(like a sleep-away camp) then this program probably is not for you. PROMYS will develop, validate and implement a novel synthetic biology platform technology termed ligand responsive regulation and selection systems.

They had to be on-call backup dancers during the event and participate in a strange game show at the end of the night. If you actually lag in math then promys probably is not good for you, but idk what lag means.

,

Well obviously they won't accept me if they don't think I can handle the work. First of all, while PROMYS had way less centralized fun, there still were a few highlights. (If the daily problem sets aren't enough for you, there's also the option of doing a group research project where your group is basically given a topic and 5 weeks to rediscover as much as possible. You get exposed to lots of concepts that pop up again and again. My friends and I mostly took to walking around Boston, eating junk food and watching anime. If you actually lag in math then promys probably is not good for you, but idk what lag means. But they demonstrate passion for math. And hopefully, have a great summer at one of those camps! Both were obviously better than the office job. The fact is, admission across different math camps is going to be highly correlated.

Also, if you went to PROMYS, what's your background in mathematics? What classes did you take before you went there? Normally participants are expected to contribute to the costs by paying a fee, but full or partial financial assistance is available for those who would otherwise be unable to attend. However, if you work hard at the problems, you will be 10x better at learning math. I took the AMC 10 for the first time February 10 and got slightly under 120 (unofficial) and I'm taking it again on Wednesday. I think I'll apply and see how it goes. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. It's a "quiz" of 7 hard math problems designed to take days, weeks or even months to solve. (If you're in middle school, I wish I had had your foresight to be browsing this sub, and consider MathPath.) 3. AIME and promys are not related. It's easier to coast and have a good time. I was going to do 2 this year and two next year, but not anymore. The student body is largely from the US and the UK, but more international students have been admitted each year. You might also look at "Awesome Math Camp" which is rather along the same lines as Promys, but perhaps a little less difficult to get into (partly because it is new and less well known).

,

^ Awesome Math Camp is completely different from PROMYS. Your second question is also hard to answer. Try to think of new approaches and tools to use, and always remember they do not expect you to finish all of them.

Promys end-user beta testing / QA: Promys provides a separate “test environment” for the life of the subscription contract. You learn when it's useful to chug through numerical examples in order to gain intuition about a particular concept. You learn to make sense of the most confusing definitions / problems you've ever seen. These camps can expose you to ideas that come up again in upper-level undergrad and even grad math courses. (In rough order of quirkiness: HCSSiM > Mathcamp > PROMYS > Ross, however obviously that's not the only relevant metric). If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, and tell me if you plan on applying!. When I was there, there were several USAMO qualifiers and prominent AOPS users attending. In 2017, returning students participated in seminars on The Analytic Clas… I attended HCSSiM, PROMYS, Mathpath, Awesomemath, among other math camps, and I can easily say that they are some of the best experiences I have had in my life thus far. I would just apply to the program, see if you get in and then decide if you think you should go. With Promys you initiate leads, quotes, sales orders, inventory, track projects, schedule resources, service tickets, and invoices in one seamless process.

Also... About how much time does a teacher need to write a recommendation?

,

I would allow a few days for a teacher to write a recommendation. Even though the social scene at PROMYS is abysmal compared to Mathcamp, the mathematical experience you gain is irreplaceable. These camps won't guarantee you a spot in HYPSM etc. I can grasp math concepts easily...or at least I have been grasping them quickly. Many of the students at MathILy-er join MathILy and other selective programs the next year.
