Description
Euler students are 12- to 18-year-old students coming from all French speaking cantons in Switzerland. They take advanced mathematics courses on the EPFL
campus on Wednesday afternoons, but do not have many opportunities to work together during the school year due to their diverse geographical origins. The summer camp is a unique occasion to meet classmates and students from other years of the program, develop a project in a small group, and learn new maths (or physics, or computer science) in a different area than the school program we cover during the year. At the end of the week the younger students give presentations to all participants. Typical topics covered by younger students are basic number theory, modular arithmetics, 3D and 4D geometry, complex numbers and quaternions. More advanced students sometimes choose to work on Olympiad trainings, programming in Python or C++, exploring the group theory behind the Rubik Cube, reading chosen chapters of “The proofs from The Book”, etc.
