Young Scholars Program In Discrete Mathematics at Rutgers
University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
High School Teachers: if you
know of a sophomore or junior who could become interested in a career
in mathematics you should contact Lisa Estler at 732/445-4065. The
students will participate in an intensive one-month academic program
where they will meet mathematicians and computer scientists, learn
about discrete mathematics, work on a research project, be engaged in
computer activities, participate in workshops on careers in the
mathematical sciences, and go on field trips. This program is
sponsored by the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical
Computer Science (DIMACS) and the Rutgers Center for Math, Science,
and Computer Education. Major funding is provided by the AT&T
Foundation. For more information contact estler@dimacs.rutgers.edu,
