| Jul 28, 2011 at 8:50 | comment | added | S. Carnahan♦ | @quid: The second half of your sentence does not seem to logically follow from the first half. The second and third parts of the question seem to be especially ill-focused, and poorly-suited to MathOverflow's format. I think it would be best if they were removed. | |
| Jul 27, 2011 at 12:01 | comment | added | Simon Lyons | To follow up on Steve's comment, projecteuler.net is a fantastic resource for challenging but non-technical programming problems related to mathematics. Get them coding in a user-friendly language like python, and point them to that site. | |

| Jul 26, 2011 at 20:35 | comment | added | user9072 | Gerhard, since the questioner is a regular math.SE user, I think his concious decision to ask this here rather than there should be accepeted. | |

| Jul 26, 2011 at 19:31 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | This question would be more acceptable on math.stackexchange. Alternatively, if the question was about more accessible areas of research or how much time research mathematicians could devote to mentoring such students, that would be a somewhat better fit for MathOverflow.

| Jul 26, 2011 at 19:30 | comment | added | Qfwfq | @SteveHuntsman: it may not work for everybody: if a high school teacher had tried to make me learn to code algorithms, I think I would've never chosen to study maths at university level! | |
| Jul 26, 2011 at 19:07 | comment | added | Joe Silverman | There are summer programs for high school students who love math, for example the PROMYS program at Boston University. | |

| Jul 26, 2011 at 18:41 | comment | added | Steve Huntsman | Have them learn to code algorithms. If they already know how to code, great. If they don't, it'll be great for them to learn. Analysis of algorithms demands attention to detail and mathematical thinking without an emphasis on proofs that might be off-putting to a high schooler. | |
