MathPath 2025 - Week 3

 Another week, another round of breakouts! As we approach the MathPath weekend we say goodbye to another round of faculty and hope they’ll join us again next year! Students enjoyed learning about knot theory with Prof Cahn, continued exploring hyperbolic geometry with Mr. C, and got in tune with their artistic sides during Math and Music with Silas.

Leaving us this week are Dr. Asia, Iliana, Dr. Vega, and Prof Cahn - while we’ll be sad to see them go, they left us with some wonderful words of advice! Iliana inspired us to keep being courageous in problem solving and flexible in asking questions, while Dr. Vega expressed the importance of knowing yourself, your strengths, and your passions in order to become the fullest version of yourself. All four faculty members have been invaluable participants in the MathPath community and culture, and we wish them safe travels when they go!


Some parting words from our faculty!


It’s impossible to keep MathPather’s spirits down for long, however. After watching their final show and tell for the year, campers went outside and kicked off the camp-wide field day! The winners of last week’s trivia contest began by shaving counselor Troy’s head, then everyone went off to the races, playing games like sharks and minnows and 112-player duck-duck-goose (or duck-duck-grey duck for our Minnesotans).

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck … GOOSE!


There are still plenty more adventures to be had as we move into this final week of MathPath! Students have another round of field trips coming up, one last all-camp trip, and are eagerly awaiting the announcement of their week four breakouts. Check back in for a final week update!

MathPath 2025 - A Bright Beginning

Image
       MathPath 2025 is underway! On June 29th we welcomed over 100 students back to Mount Holyoke’s campus for another summer of learning, community, and fun. Though we all came to MathPath via different routes, everyone was excited to begin the month. Students met their counselor groups, began making new friends at lunch and dinner, and enjoyed some ice breaker activities before heading off to bed to be well rested for their first full day at MathPath! Student Life Director Dr. Vega, Counselor Troy, and some of his counselor group! On Monday, after a filling breakfast, students gathered in Hooker Auditorium for the opening remarks from Executive Director Lara Pudwell (Prof. Pudwell) and were introduced to the faculty and staff by Camp Director April Verser (April) and Academic Director Matt Delong (Prof. D). After a quick stretch break, students experienced their first visiting plenary from Dr. Sam Vandervelde (Dr. V) about what it means to be “above average” in di...

MathPath 2025 - 1st Weekend Adventures

Image
  This past Sunday and Monday, our MathPathers went on their first round of field trips! We kicked the weekend off with small group trips such as a hike up South Sugarloaf trail, visits to the Dr. Seuss and Springfield museums, as well as the Basketball Hall of Fame!  Trips to the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Dr. Seuss Museum, and the South Sugarloaf Hike! About one third of the students went on a not-so-small group trip to Spare Time! They spent the day honing their bowling skills, visiting the arcade, and of course, drinking lots of lemonade. Other groups spent their day outside at Look Park and Sturbridge Village, getting some fresh air and enjoying the sunshine of western Mass.  SpareTime Bowling and a train ride at Look Park! On Monday we took our first full camp trip to Yankee Candle Village and Groff Park in Amherst, Massachusetts! Students were able to dip their own candles and explore the flagship store which had much more to offer beyond candles such as a toy st...

MathPath 2024, Week three in KC

Image
As MathPath continues, it’s inspiring to witness the bonds forming among our students. This week was a perfect blend of intense learning and engaging activities. Our breakout sessions continued to offer a variety of enriching options this week. MathPath first-timer Dr. Dylon Chow from the University of Washington taught Projective Geometry , a type of geometry discovered through the development of perspective drawing in art. Dr. David McCune, a local professor at William Jewell College, taught Apportionment and Voting . In this breakout, students analyzed real election data and considered alternative results under different voting systems such as plurality, instant-runoff voting, and the Borda Count. Dr. McCune and students analyze a U.S. House race in Alaska Maths and Crafts The plenaries were equally thought-provoking. Senior staff assistant and PhD student at UIUC Maddy Ritter gave an insightful talk on "Free groups and the Hanna Neumann Conjecture." She introduced MathPat...
