Welcome to MathCEP
Dedicated to educational outreach, our mission is to develop materials and programs for mathematics students and instructors at all levels.
UMTYMP Links
Look here for quick links for UMTYMP students and families. Current students can use the portal to find links to course websites, the slides from our Back to School event, and other information. Prospective students and families can read more about UMTYMP or how to join us. Please keep in mind that COVID-19 has caused many changes in our qualifying exam process, so the schedule and some of the information on our How to Join UMTYMP page may be modified this year.
Programs for Students

Interested in math? Want to learn more? MathCEP has a program for you!
We do everything from short, one-time events to show students how awesome math is, all the way to UMTYMP, a five-year premiere program which lets you take your mathematics classes at the University of Minnesota. Check out our academic year and summer programs!
Programs for Teachers

MathCEP's programs for teachers vary each year according to funding and interest. Check our website for updates, or email mathcep@umn.edu if you'd like to be included on our mailing list for information about upcoming programs.
In 2020 there has been a particular emphasis on meeting with K12 teachers to talk about their needs in this new and unexpected era of online teaching, facilitating the exchange of ideas between teachers, and discussing what resources the University can provide, including video textbooks for Algebra and Trigonometry.
The Distributed Open Education Network (Doenet)

MathCEP is involved in developing the Distributed Open Education Network (Doenet) in collaboration with the Ohio State University and Ithaca College.
Not only will the Doenet platform make it easy to author and share interactive educational content, it will also be an educational research tool. By measuring and sharing student interactions with web pages and storing anonymized data in an open distributed data warehouse, it will help learners and instructors find the most effective content based on research results.
Make a Gift to MathCEP/UMTYMP
At a time when there is a “quiet crisis” in the lack of challenging curriculum and substantial opportunities for many talented students, MathCEP and UMTYMP are still providing Minnesota’s top young math students with not only an excellent education, but a wide-variety of opportunities for expanding their interest in and understanding of mathematics, science and engineering.
