The application deadline is May 1. Applications received at a later date will still be considered but given less priority. We expect to send out the first acceptance letters with enrollment and other logistic details (including payment) by May 15.

The prerequisites are as follows: basic arithmetic and algebra (primes numbers, rings, polynomials), function theory (continuity, differentiability). No knowledge of advanced calculus or linear algebra is assumed. Familiarity with complex numbers, though not absolutely essential, would be helpful.

Please download a copy of the selection problems. In the file you will find 5 problems of various difficulty, some of which are open ended. It is certainly not necessary to solve all the problems in order to be selected to participate in the Apex Math summer program! We are more interested in seeing your unique way of approaching the problem and in the methods which you come up with than in seeing a full solution. We encourage you to write up (and develop to the extent that you feel inspired) any ideas that you have, even if it only concerns a special case or if it does not lead to complete solutions. Your curiosity in exploring the patterns that you notice will be much valued.

Please scan or save your solutions as a single PDF file.
