Math Overview

AlphaStar Summer Math Camp is a unique opportunity for interested and talented students to improve their math skills during the summer season. Students are guided and trained by an expert faculty via utilizing national and international competitions in a fun and challenging environment.

The Math Curriculum at each level has four subject course offerings: Algebra, Counting, Geometry, and Number Theory. For example, MC25 level (AMC 8/MathCounts Advanced) has four subject courses: MC25A (Algebra), MC25G (Geometry), MC25C (Counting), and MC25N (Number Theory). Separate registration is required for each subject course.

Each course has 12 chapters. A chapter will be covered in a 90-minute live session. For each chapter, there will be Lecture Notes, Example Problems, Exercise (HW) Problems, Quiz. There is also a discussion forum where students can ask questions to the Faculty and peers. The course material* is the same as the ones used in Fall/Spring courses for relevant subjects.

During the Live Classes, the Instructor will teach the Lecture Notes, solve Example Problems, and review some of the Exercise Problems. The recordings of the current Live Classes will be available to live class students. Self-study class students will have access to recorded sessions from a past or current live class. For each Chapter, students are encouraged to work an additional 1 hour to review the material and work on the Exercise (HW) and Quiz problems, preferably on a regular basis when the material is taught fresh. However, there is no deadline for HW and Quizzes, hence the students can take and submit them whenever they want during the 1 year time after the course enrollment. There will be a Final Exam that students can take online anytime after going through all the course material.

In addition to the 12 chapter sessions, the Live courses will have 3 additional sessions for fun math activities and/or reviewing the material.

(*) The live version of the subject courses are offered at different paces:

Fall/Spring: Weekly sessions for 12 weeks
Summer: Daily sessions on weekdays over 3 weeks (includes three additional sessions for review or fun activity)

Dates & Registration

All class times are Pacific Time (PT) and during weekdays (No classes on weekends).

The same camp is offered multiple times during Summer for the convenience of our parents and students. There is no difference between the camps in terms of curriculum and material. Hence, it is possible to take all four subjects in the same camp period, as well as taking different subjects at different camps.

The assigned instructors are subject to change.

Math Curriculum

During the camp, students will be provided with the necessary background in lectures and trained with different types of problems to master various problem-solving techniques. The classes are problem solving-based, whose curriculum is aligned with prestigious national and international competitions. Please check http://mathcounts.org/ and http://amc.maa.org/ for more information about these competitions. Lectures will be given and problem-solving strategies will be taught in Algebra, Counting, Geometry, and Number Theory. The camp provides a motivational and challenging environment for students.

AlphaStar Math Program has eight levels with each level having four subject offerings: Algebra, Counting, Geometry, and Number Theory. Each of these subject courses are taught in 12 chapters. For each chapter, there are Lecture Notes, Example Problems, Exercise (HW) Problems, and a Quiz. Please click below to find objectives along with a sample problem for each chapter:

Paul Dreyer (ARML President)

Paul Dreyer is a mathematician at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, CA. At RAND, Paul uses mathematical modeling and simulation on a wide variety of military, energy, and security issues. Recently, his work has concentrated on aircraft survivability and how airbases operate while under attack. He also teaches courses on quantitative problem solving in the Financial Engineering Department at the UCLA Andersen School of Management and has consulted on multiple game shows including Million Second Quiz and Let's Ask America. He is also the president of the American Regions Mathematics League as well as one of its authors.

He received his PhD in mathematics from Rutgers University in 2000, writing his dissertation on the applications of graph theory to problems in facilities placement, modeling opinion formulation in groups, and methods to speed up searches through protein sequence databases. Prior to joining RAND, Paul spent summers working at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, MD and one of its subcontractors, the IDA Center for Computing Science in Bowie, MD researching topics in cryptography and computer security. In 2011 to 2013, Paul also worked as a trader at Jane Street Capital.
