Candid Student Reports

The following (emails) were written by members of the Math Explorations, Session C, Summer 2000 during the fifth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

Today we played a number 
game called master mind. 
I really enjoyed the camp,
and I hope to come back 
next summer or during the fall 
sessions.

-Timothy

Today is our last day so 
in that case we learned 
how to put 8 Chess
Queens on a chess board 
so they can not kill 
each other.

-Tiara

Today was the last day 
awwwww mmmmaaaannn!!!!!

-Oliver

Today we learned about 
probability and the game 
theory. We also learned 
that the computer is just 
a machine that does what 
the user tells
them.

-Dominque

Today we talked about game 
theory, prisoners dilemma, 
paradoxes, and computer algorithms.  
I found paradoxes interesting but 
confusing.  I am not used to 
solving problems with no 
definite solution.  I had a 
great time at this camp and I 
wish the week wouldn't end.

-Lilah

Today we learned a lot about 
game theory, paradoxes, and ways
computers convert things into codes. 
We learned a lot and it was very
interesting.

-Chris

Today I had fun while I was learning.
It was a good last day and I hope
to come back to this math camp.
