2008 LSAMP Mathematics Summer Bridge

Program dates:  June 30 - August 7 (Monday - Thursday)
Program times: 9:30 - Noon
Location: Thornton Hall 425                                 
 
This workshop is designed to prepare students to excel in precalculus and calculus.

If you do not enroll in MATH 109 Precalculus this summer then the  Mathematics Summer Bridge will prepare you to take MATH 109 in the fall and MATH 226 Calculus I in the spring.

Participating students will receive free copies of all necessary texts and a graphing calculator. Participants will also:
   * Learn how to do challenging assignments like those in precalculus.
   * Learn how to work collaboratively in student-to-student groups.
   * Learn how to approach "word problems."

Finally, students who successfully complete the Bridge/Workshop will receive a $600 stipend and be eligible for all other LSAMP programs. However the most important skill you will receive is the knowledge and basic skills for succeeding in college mathematics.
