Professor Japheth Wood Directs 12th Annual Bard Math CAMP
Professor Japheth Wood.
This August, Director of Quantitative Literacy and Associate Professor of Mathematics Japheth Wood co-directed the 12th annual Bard Math Circle's Creative and Analytical Math Program (CAMP). Running from August 4 to 8, CAMP invited 23 middle school mathematicians to Bard’s Annandale campus from the Hudson Valley area and beyond. The program brought students into contact with various areas of math using coding, Rubik's Cubes, card tricks, and more. Students also got outside to play “amoeba tag” and hike around Bard’s scenic grounds.
CAMP is a summer academic enrichment program for middle school students taking place on Bard’s campus every summer. It was recognized by the American Mathematical Society with the Epsilon Award. CAMP aims to explore topics in math outside what students are normally exposed to in school, bringing together the study of math, computer science, and art. The program is led by Bard Math Circle, which also holds Math Afternoons at the Kingston Library.
