The Summer Problem Solving Course is hosted by the Centre for Education in Mathematics & Computing (CEMC) at the University of Waterloo.

The goal of this course is to develop students' mathematical problem-solving ability. Students will be introduced to various problem-solving techniques and will have the opportunity to practice these techniques in major topic areas during the course.

This course will be most appropriate for high school students who have completed at least Grade 11 university stream mathematics. It will be particularly useful for students who are considering studying one of the following disciplines at university: mathematics, computer science, engineering, or the physical sciences.

The course will be held entirely online and will feature a series of self-guided videos, online discussion boards and weekly assessments to be completed. Weekly due dates for the submission of quizzes and assignments will be provided and online discussion boards will give students the opportunity to confer with classmates and seek guidance from course instructors.
