<p>I’m in AP Calculus too. So, no advanced courses for me. But, I have a professor I work with. And, I don’t have a paper written yet (I have all the work done), but a couple of professors told me they’d love to get my work published. That’s important because I’m basically writing a conjecture which, as far as I can see, has to be proven through exhaustion, ie with a supercomputer running the algorithm through as many possibilities as possible until it hits a snag. Plus, what I’m working on isn’t really groundbreaking, just a random little pattern that I found, so don’t get intimidated, its not a big deal.</p>
