PROMYS

PROMYS is a six-week summer program at Boston University designed to encourage strongly motivated high school students to explore in depth the creative world of mathematics in a supportive community of peers, counselors, research mathematicians, and visiting scientists.

The Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) and PROMYS are offering new advanced seminars for returning PROMYS students. Returning students also engage in original research under the mentorship of professional mathematicians.

PROMYS for Teachers

PROMYS for Teachers is a collaboration of Boston University's Department of Mathematics with the Education Development Center in Waltham, Massachusetts. Together we are working to promote what we call a "culture of exploration" in secondary school mathematics classrooms. 

CMI-PROMYS International Alliance - 10 Fully-Funded Students from Europe 

PROMYS is delighted to announce the expansion of the long standing PROMYS partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) to the newly formed CMI-PROMYS International Alliance: CMI is fully funding the PROMYS participation of up to ten European students who have been accepted to PROMYS through the regular admissions process. The students will follow up their six weeks at PROMYS with participation in the one-week residential Oxford Masterclasses in Combinatorics, at Oxford University, England. There are no financial qualifications for eligibility. Students must be able to handle lectures and problem sets in English.  Please click here for more details and for an application.
