Students gain a taste of the college experience by learning on the UW Seattle campus and interacting with professionals who apply math in various fields.
This in-person course at the University of Washington Seattle campus teaches high schoolers how mathematical models are used to understand and predict phenomena in science and engineering. Through a mix of lectures, in-depth discussions of examples, and hands-on exercises and projects, students will explore real-world applications of math, such as the spread of diseases, ocean waves, stock market values, and aerodynamics. The curriculum focuses on developing algebraic, geometric, and graphical reasoning skills to recognize patterns and structures, and introduces terminology of mathematical modeling and differential equations. Students will also have the opportunity to investigate or extend a mathematical model as a final project. The program aims to show the many ways mathematics can be used in science, business, and research.
A typical day involves a mix of lectures, in-depth discussions of mathematical modeling examples, and hands-on exercises and projects.
This course is ideal for incoming ninth to 12th graders with a basic understanding of algebra and a curiosity about mathematics, who are ready to learn at a fast pace.
