Math Camp Workflow

In order to participate in each of the above Workshops, you will need to

Watch the videos and/or work through the lecture notes. Take notes by hand to make sure that you are following the material.
Take the online quiz to consolidate the module material.
Do some practice problems -- maybe before the workshop, maybe after. The practice problems are mostly easier than the Workshop problems we will do together. Solving them in advance will help you participate actively in Workshop. That said, it’s fine to save some practice problems to consolidate skills after the Workshop.

At the end of each week (before Friday midnight), upload your practice problems and Workshop answers using the “Assignments” link on the website. If there are particular things you would like feedback on, make a note of that in the comment section.
