Students can work on the projects in small groups or individually, and they are expected to present their research findings to their teachers and fellow students on the last day of Mathcamp.
Students who have demonstrated high competency in the mathcamp and produced strong results
in their projects will be invited to give a short presentation during a one-day (22 Aug) Mathcamp Symposium. Excellent research projects may be further submitted to compete for the S.T. Yau High School Science Awards (China) and S.T. Yau High School Science Awards (Asia), and the corresponding students may receive strong recommendations from the Mathcamp and Professor Shing-Tung Yau to compete for entrance into the Yau Math Talent Undergraduate Program at Tsinghua, the Enrichment Math Program (with full scholarships) at Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well as top schools around the world.
