| Feb 6 at 10:14 | comment | added | Adam Přenosil | I would aim more for "hands-on experience with real math" (of similar kind to the math camps that you mentioned) than for "undergraduate research in high school". Undergraduates doing research is in many, perhaps most, areas of mathematics already a stretch in the sense that it often seems to be simply a fancy word for an undergraduate reading up on some more advanced area of mathematics This is of course great for students like you who take a keen interest in math, I am just saying you should take the word "research" in the context of "undergraduate research" with a pinch of salt. | |

For example, if you're taking a complex variables course, then maybe dive more deeply into things such as covered in these books or in this book. If you're looking for something to do now or this summer, perhaps contact the possible instructors of the courses you might take. | |

| Feb 2 at 3:44 | comment | added | Ian | I don't know how it is in math, but in my field, the university has special programs for high school students. Try googling "<university name> high school summer research". You can also cold email professors (see this Q&A for strategy). I doubt many professors think a high school student is going to do much of anything useful; it's mostly a learning experience. I personally have accepted a high school student to my lab from a cold email. Good luck! | |
