Students from international areas of conflict have the opportunity to attend the MAA's Mathematical Olympiad Program (MOP) from June 3 -19, 2024, and potentially our Pre-MOP girl inclusivity program on June 1-3, 2024. Three countries will be chosen.
The Mathematical Olympiad Program is a mathematically stimulating summer experience designed to broaden students' view of mathematics while fostering their excitement toward further math study. Over the course of three weeks, they will complete classes that enhance their problem-solving skills and take tests that help prepare them for areas of mathematics like algebra, geometry, combinatorics, number theory, and many other special topics. Outside of classes, they will interact with other talented young mathematicians from across the United States of America and around the world, furthering their mathematical development. They will train with the entire USA IMO team and about 50 other USA National Finalists as part of a cohort of 30 international special guests.
Pre-MOP is a two-day program that takes place before the start of MOP. It provides the young women participating in MOP an opportunity to acclimate to the MOP environment, meet instructors, practice problem-solving skills, and ultimately, support their math abilities before the beginning of MOP. They will practice mathematics in a specialized and individualized space that fosters a collaborative learning environment.
All members of the MOP staff either reside in Pittsburgh or are housed on Carnegie Mellon University’s campus, where the students will be staying, so the staff will closely interact with the participants outside of class as well. In the past, this interaction has greatly contributed to developing our country's most talented young mathematicians.
The students representing these countries should either be competing for a national team at this coming IMO or eligible to compete at next year’s IMO, EGMO, or other mathematical Olympiad.
