Success in university-level mathematics requires more than just memorizing formulas - it demands a deep understanding of fundamental concepts and their applications. In this course, we will explore the essential mathematical ideas that underpin problem-solving in Calculus and higher-level STEM courses at Stanford University. Through rigorous engagement with core concepts, we will emphasize not just the how but the why behind mathematical methods, empowering students to tackle a wide range of problems in mathematics, physics, engineering, and beyond. By developing strong analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills, students will build the confidence and fluency needed to excel in advanced mathematics and STEM disciplines. Note: course offered in August prior to start of fall quarter, and only Stanford Summer Bridge Program participants will register.

This course helps students develop greater confidence in their academic writing practice and prepares them for their first-year writing class. Through discussion, reading, and both informal and formal writing activities, students focus on how audience, purpose, and cultural context can shape the decisions they make in their writing; develop research and information literacy skills; and practice strategies for effective academic writing style. We'll engage with a variety of different types of writing, from expository to analytical essays and source-based writing. Students participate in at least one individual writing consultation with their instructor.

In this course, students will find the space to define their study abroad experience as well as articulate the ways in which their worldview perspectives may have shifted. Therefore, students will engage in deep mutual exchanges and personal introspection about their experiences abroad. Throughout the course, we will define their experience abroad while continually making-meaning as their new perspectives are supported and challenge amongst members of the Stanford community. Students will end the course by crafting action steps for moving forward with the ability to tell their study abroad story in compelling ways that can be applied to personal, social, academic, and professional realms of their lives.

Pathways of Public Service is a 1-2 unit course connected to the Otero Public Service and Civic Engagement (PSCE) Theme Dorm, sponsored by the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University.
