Since then, I have tried to change this. In the summer of 1988 I attended the TIP summer program at Duke University. In the summers of 1989 and 1990, I studied number theory, algebra, etc. I recommend this program to motivated high school students who want to learn what mathematics is.
College students seem to gain a lot from being counselors as well.
From 1990-94 I attended New College , an alternative liberal arts school of about 500 students and 50 professors. NC has no grades and emphasizes independent study and student research. Though NC has its faults, Money Magazine rated NC its best buy for several years running until this past two years. I recommend considering the example of New College to anyone involved in education. In the Fall of 1992, I attended the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program.
