SMI Testimonials

"I just want to express my thanks to you again.  Jim had a great time at the Summer Math Institute.  It was the first time he left home without his PS2, X-Box, computer, etc. and no mother beside him.  In fact, he was scared.  After this experience, he not only liked it, but also wants to join you in the future.  Thanks again to you and your team."

"Thank you so much for taking care of all the kids.  I know it is difficult dealing with a bunch of teenage kids 24 hours a day; but you guys did a great job.  Hari had such a good time.  He's already told everybody that he has his next summer planned---going to TAMS.  I also think he has learned to be more independent, and he had a lot of fun in the process.  He doesn't want home food any more, and he thinks home is boring!!!  Thanks to all of you."

"If given the opportunity, I would return to SMI next year.  The camp is a great way to learn mathematics.  I also think it is an excellent learning experience because it teaches us independence and way of life away from home."

"I would return if calculus was offered.  It was a great experience that I enjoyed immensely.  Meeting new people interested in math and learning on your own with the help of great teacher and teaching assistant were all very fun and rewarding."
