how are you taking ap calculus in sophomore year what the hell
I don’t even like math that much…just doing it so I can take physics.
I am too^ 
@IrrationalPepsi and I are also taking it sophomore, @ivyyhopeful (although I’m technically doing Calculus I as opposed to the AP curriculum).
The only answer I have is that I really, really like math :B
The really crazy bit is that AP Chem o.o
How’d you manage that, @manspeak2u ?
Honors English 10
Honors PreCalc

the AP history courses are going to kill me, so last Friday my Honors Multi Cultures teacher decided to give us an “AP style” exam of the Middle Ages and I scored one of the lowest in the class literally cried :(( history is not my thing
@collegeyouth Algebra 2 team
@OMPursuit Have you gone to a math camp other than PROMYS before? I’m applying to Canada/USA MathCamp this summer, but if that doesn’t work out I’m either headed to computer camp or interning at a friend’s tech company in Harlem.
For that kid talking about college majors: I’m aiming for a major in theoretical mathematics and a minor in either music or theatre arts, depending on if the college offers the latter.
I haven’t @junemaybees ! HCSSiM and SuMAC have also piqued my interest (more the former than the latter o.o), though I’m only applying to the one camp this go around.
I’ve never tried problems like those PROMYS asks you to solve, but I’ve been able to reach conclusions on four of them and am currently writing up the proofs for the remaining three digitally.
That makes me optimistic! That’s… all I have going for me. </3
Canada/USA MathCamp isn’t one I’ve looked into, although maybe I should for next year.
Also, yesss- someone interested in theoretical math! I see so many applied people. :<
@junemaybees, I think “that kid” has a username, but I only wish that I knew it.
@OMPursuit I’m the same; I’ve only taken the AMC 8 and 10 once each and got pretty average scores. I’ve been procrastinating on the Qualifying Quiz, but I got answers to 2/6 of them and decent starts on the rest.
I like the curriculum structure of Mathcamp better than PROMYS. PROMYS is pretty focused on Number Theory, but Mathcamp allows you to choose courses in a variety of topics.
@IrrationalPepsi Sorry! XD I didn’t want to scroll back up to remember it, I was lazy.
@junemaybees The things about Promys that are most attractive to me are their focus on really tackling problems you don’t know the answer to, the teaching method they’re using (discovering new concepts on your own), and the possibility of serious research for return customers.
Not to mention, they seem similarly laid-back as compared to HCSSiM! I really especially like the friendly vibe of those programs.
@OMPursuit At my school, you can take bio in 8th grade, so I took H. Bio in 8th, taking H. Chem this year, then AP Chem in 10th.
Concept: in addition to regular, honors, and AP classes, there are Specialist Elevtives for people with a genuine interest in the subject. Discuss.
@manspeak2u o_o
a little bit of school envy going on
@awesomepolyglot I actually thought that was what AP classes were originally intended for
