How does the Ross Program compare to other summer math programs like PROMYS, Canada/USA Mathcamp, HCSSiM, SUMaC, etc?
The most prominent summer math programs for high school students are listed on the mathcamps page run by the American Mathematical Society. A key feature of the Ross Program is that it runs for a full eight weeks, with all students concentrating deeply on one subject for the entire time. We are convinced that this commitment to concentration and depth is far more valuable than short overviews of many different topics. PROMYS at Boston University is similar to the Ross Program is several ways.
