Welcome to the
Institute for Advanced Study /
Park City Mathematics Institute

Duke Teachers' Site

"The Institute for Advanced Study / Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) is a flagship mathematics program which is built on the fundamental theme that interaction among researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students, and high school teachers is essential to the optimal functioning of the mathematical enterprise."

"The PCMI incorporates learning, teaching, research, and interaction in a unique integrated format. During the summer session, high school teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, college and university faculty, and researchers working at the most advanced levels of mathematical inquiry come together as equal partners in a supportive setting where education at all levels is the explicit concern."

"The 1996 summer session will be held at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey from June 23 to July 13. The research topic is Probability."

"The summer session is linked to a year-long program in six regional university-based sites where participating high school teachers work in collaboration with faculty at Clark Atlanta University, Duke University, Idaho State University, Purdue University, Rice University or the University of Louisville. During the school year, teachers translate what they have learned into more effective pedagogy in their own classrooms and work with university site directors to become leaders of reform in their schools, school districts, and communities."
