"Bring on the Problems? It Must be Math Camp," by Michael Winerip. The New York Times, 30 July 2003.
Dr. Max Warshauer and his SWT Math Camp for talented high school students are featured in this article. The camp, held each summer at Southwest Texas State University, attracts bright students from private and public schools, from small towns and inner cities. Half of Warshauer's 50 campers are female and one third are black or Latino. The article quotes some of the students, some of whom had never met another student like themselves---a peer who is talented and interested in mathematics---until they went to the camp. Warshauer is profiled as an energetic camp director, committed to broadening student participation in advanced mathematics studies. (The American Mathematical Society's Epsilon Fund awarded a grant to the SWT Math Camp in 2003.)
