Ross Mathematics Program

The Ross Program is a summer experience designed for pre-college students.

Mission Statement

※At Ross. we provide students with a focused and supportive environment for mathematical exploration. We encourage mathematical cooperation and community building, instead of direct competition between students.

※At Ross, we want to create an environment that allows students to explore their relationships with mathematics, and we try to create an experience that allows students to explore mathematics deeply, to experience mathematics for themselves, and to share this exploration and joy with others.

Ross Staff

We have excellent counselors (辅导员) who are responsible for teaching mathematics, providing social and emotional support for students, and monitoring student safety. They are also responsible for being role models for students, and for developing a welcoming camp culture among the participants.

Program Dates

There will be two sites for the Ross Program:

※At Otterbein University in Columbus, OH. June 9 through July 19, 2024

※At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, June 16 through July 26, 2024

All participants typically live with a roommate in a campus dormitory.

Applying

※Pre-college students who are interested in mathematics are invited to apply. First-year students range in age from 15 to 18 years old, but in unique cases, younger or older students are accepted. We expect about 60 first-year students at each site.

Admission decisions are based on school performance, teacher recommendations, essays about the applicant’s interests and goals, and the applicant’s work on some challenging math problems.

The fee for attending the program is $7,000, though we’re able to provide financial aid for students who need financial assistance to attend the program. The student fee covers tuition, housing and meals.

文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了欧洲四条长途步行的旅行路线。

【推荐2】Long Walks in Europe


Waldstätterweg Route, Lucerne, Switzerland
Distance 71 miles

The Waldstätterweg Route is one of the safest when it comes to snowy conditions, and the views and the colours of the trees are breathtaking at the end of October. This seven-stage route spreads to the shore of Lake Lucerne, with the glaring blue water being a constant companion. Old paths and elegant routes through woods link lakeside settlements.


Harz Witches Route, Lower Saxony, Germany
Distance 58 miles

The Harz Mountains have long been associated with German folklore (民俗). Harz Witches Route runs along forest tracks through Harz National Park and can be walked throughout October and beyond. The route takes in forests, Germany’s largest wooden church, and a 439-metre rope suspension bridge. It also follows the poet Goethe’s hiking route up the Brocken.


GR141, Andalucía, Spain
Distance 68 miles

Autumn isn’t just a good time to walk in Andalucía. The weather stays warm long after winter starts to bite further north. It’s cheaper and less crowded, too. In November, conditions are milder here and some plants continue to flower. And two newly created GR routes begin here: both are well marked, reasonably challenging, divided into six stages and walkable in a week.


Menalon Route, Peloponnese, Greece
Distance 47 miles

The Menalon Route is an excellent option for autumn. Temperatures are pleasant and autumn colours are wonderful well into November. It’s a quiet time to visit, too. Nights in mountain villages are a highlight. Dimitsana, surrounded by snowy peaks, is a particular jewel. In Stemnitsa, there is a folklore museum showing the village’s jewellery-making heritage.

1. Which route may attract people who are interested in folk and local religious culture?
A.Waldstätterweg Route.B.Harz Witches Route.
C.GR141.D.Menalon Route.
