Math & R Summer Camps

None at all! In fact, if you have no prior knowledge to the summer camps' subject matter, you are the perfect candidate to take them. The goal is to give you a basic overview of the material, as well as the resources and the confidence to learn more. These workshops are also useful for those who haven't used the material in a while and simply need a refresher.

Unfortunately, we do not offer the summer workshops in hybrid format. Students must attend in-person at the Downtown McGill campus. 

The summer workshops are not for credit. Current McGill students (i.e. undergraduates, graduates, PhD) will receive Co-Curricular Record from MyInvolvement for completing each workshop.

Yes! Our summer workshops are free thanks to our sponsors listed below.

Although there will be no exams, attending these workshops will require a serious commitment from the student. Each session will involve a mix of lecture and hands-on practice. Remember: you cannot learn maths and computing by just watching. Just like any skill, you need to practice the work every day.

If you register for our summer camps, you are expected to attend every session, complete the assigned readings, and participate in class. If for any reason who are unable to attend a session, it is important to inform us as soon as possible by emailing us at cdsi.science [at] mcgill.ca . Please write "Summer Camp" in the subject line for a quicker response.

The Math and R Summer Camps are geared towards McGill incoming graduate students and members of the CSDC. Other members of the McGill community are encouraged to apply, but please note that preference will be given to incoming graduate students from sponsoring units.

When you first register, a confirmation email will be sent to you. In the confirmation email is a cancellation link that will allow you to cancel your registration at any time. You can also contact our team at CDSI by email at cdsi.science [at] mcgill.ca . Please write "Summer Camp - Cancellation" in the subject line for a quicker response. 
Because of high demand and limited space for our summer workshops, we tend to have long waiting lists. It is important to cancel your registration as soon as possible in order to give your space to the next person on the waiting list. 

Yes, you absolutely can! In fact, we encourage you to attend both summer camps, as mathematics and R programming are important skills to learn, especially for graduate students in the Social Sciences.
