The Department of Mathematical Sciences of
Tsinghua University, YAU Mathematical Sciences Center and Yanqi Lake Beijing
Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications are intended to hold the
Tsinghua YAU Summer Mathcamp for Secondary School Students (hereinafter
referred to as the “Mathcamp”) at Tsinghua University/Yanqi Lake Beijing
Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications from July to August, 2021.
The Mathcamp is designed for students who
love mathematics, are passionate about this subject, and have some basic
competency in this respect. This event aims to enable students to learn about
mathematics of modern times and have access to modern mathematical research.
The Mathcamp mainly invites outstanding teenagers throughout China. We will rigorously
select 300 students from those who have submitted applications for the Mathcamp
held at Tsinghua University. These students with potential are expected to
devote themselves to mathematical research in the future through the
enlightenment by this summer camp so that our goal of training a new generation
of young mathematical research talents can be achieved.
We will offer six mathematical courses for
four to six weeks, including linear algebra, algebraic combinatorics, number
theory, analysis and topology, fundamentals of physics, and programing (each
student should select three courses among them for learning). These courses
cover essential tools and applications for modern scientific research. In order
to teach these courses to the students within six weeks, we will invite experts
from all localities to Tsinghua University to give lectures to the students.
The Mathcamp is not limited to standard classroom learning. Some courses are
also combined with special research. And students are encouraged to deliver
special lectures and publish their research results in the last few days of the
camp. During the Mathcamp, an exercises class will be arranged each afternoon.
Teaching assistants will lead students in discussing about and doing exercises
or talking about the special research. Additionally, we plan to invite a
world-class mathematics researcher to give an academic lecture at the Math Camp
each week so that students can understand the direction and results of modern
scientific research.
I. Who Can Apply?
The basic training program of mathematics
for this summer camp plans to recruit 300 campers. This notice is for
international students ONLY. The number of onsite international students will
not exceed 15%~ish of the total number (i.e. maximal 45). Considering the
Covid-19 situation, international students could attend online.
The secondary school students participating
in this summer camp should meet the following conditions:
1. The mathematically talented students
with a good mastery of the knowledge structure of senior high school
mathematics and familiar with the basic concepts of calculus are
prioritized;
2. Excellent in both character and
learning, as well as in comprehensive quality;
3. Loving mathematics and aspiring to do
academic research on the fundamentals of mathematical science;
4. International here means the students
are attending the school aboard.
II. How to Apply?
All international applicants should apply
via emails: sxycb@tsinghua.edu.cn before 00:00, May 14th). The title of the email
should be
2021 Tsinghua MathCamp Application + full
name
The following information/attachment (zip
all the material into one file) should be included:
1. Personal information
2. Proof of study, sign/stamp by the
corresponding school aboard.
3. Additional information includes: awards
at the provincial level or above obtained at secondary school; personal honors
at the school level or above received at secondary school; scientific research,
innovative practice and literary creation that have been participated in at
secondary school; expertise in arts and sports; social services and club events
that have been joined in at secondary school.
4. The “Reason for applying for the summer
camp of math” is an important reference for the shortlisting of the summer camp
and for the subsequent professional recognition. Please carefully complete such
information to the real fact (limited to 1,000 words).
5. Two letters of reference submitted by an
applicant or the referees: A referee who understands the applicant’s overall
performance and professional expertise writes a letter of reference for the
applicant.
III. How to Recruit Campers
The application materials submitted by
students will be reviewed by the Expert Committee item by item. Those whose
materials are satisfactory will be qualified as campers and may have access to
the results on the online application platform in the late May, 2021 (the
specific time will be notified later). Those qualified students may print the
Check-in Notice online.
IV. Others
No costs will be borne by campers in this
summer camp. Tsinghua University will apply for meal cards for all campers, who
may dine in our campus canteen at their own expenses. Please arrange your
travel and accommodation at your own costs.
