Carleton & St. Olaf Colleges' Summer Mathematics Program for Women
Admission into this program is limited to female mathematics students who are currently completing their first or second year of college. Students are expected to have had Calculus and Linear Algebra. It’s an intensive four-week summer mathematics program for undergraduate female math majors. The students will immerse themselves in mathematics, living and working in a supportive community of women scholars (undergraduates, graduates, and post-graduates) who are passionate about learning and doing mathematics. The program's intent is three-fold: to excite these young women about mathematics and mathematical careers, to provide them with the tools they will need to succeed in a mathematical career, and to connect them with a network of fellow female mathematicians.
