Updated, August 2009: In Fall 2009, we will run one CAMCOS project, sponsored by the NASA Ames Research Center. The project will be in statistics and related topics, and the faculty supervisor will be Dr. Martina Bremer.

Applicants: San José State students who want to be part of a CAMCOS team can do so by taking Math 203. However, registration for Math 203 is by application only. More precisely, to apply for Math 203 in Fall 2009:

1. Download the application form. Students who have previously taken Math 203 and wish to continue with the same faculty supervisor need not reapply.


2. Submit the application form, either by e-mail (strongly preferred) or by campus mail.


3. Since you are not guaranteed to get into Math 203, in the semester that you want to take Math 203, register for classes as if you were not taking Math 203, but put a class into your schedule that you can drop if you do get into Math 203.


4. If you are chosen for a team, you will be notified directly, most likely by e-mail. Add codes will be given out by the faculty supervisor at the first or second class meeting.

• Some reasons why you should take Math 203.


• How to prepare yourself for Math 203 (i.e., what we're looking for in a Math 203 student).


• What previous Math 203 students have to say about the class, and what previous sponsors have to say about their projects.


• Some of the History of CAMCOS.

If you are interested in participating in CAMCOS as a student, or if you are part of a Bay Area business or government organization that may be interested in sponsoring a CAMCOS project, please contact Dr. Tim Hsu at:
