Stella Schola Middle School alumnus Ian Story (2004) has been accepted into the Summer Institute of Mathematics at the University of Washington (SIMUW)! This is a 6 week, all expense paid opportunity to explore "the nature of mathematics: its wide-ranging content, the intrinsic beauty of its ideas, the nature of mathematical argument and proof, the surprising power of mathematics within the sciences and beyond." The program is taught by UW faculty. The 25 participants live on campus and work together and individually on real-life mathematical problems.
