While in high school, you may wish to accelerate your studies by enrolling in summer session programs offering regular or elective mathematics courses. Some schools have specialized mathematics honors or Advanced Placement courses that are part of their regular summer or evening school programs. Ask your math teacher or school counselor if there are any mathematics competitions you can enter. Not only can they be fun, but competitions may also offer college scholarships as awards. You can also participate in math summer camps.
The American Mathematical Society's Web site, https://www.ams.org, offers information on math careers, competitions, and publications.
Summer and part-time employment with NASA or industrial firms can also provide you with valuable experience and offer the opportunity to test your knowledge, interests, abilities, and personal characteristics in a practical work setting.
