PROMYS director and BU math professor Stephen Rosenberg said the proceeds from the auction enable the program to reach inner-city and rural youths who would otherwise be unable to attend the program.
"If we can identify those kids and give them six weeks of math boot camp here, it can open doors for them," Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg knows firsthand, because he attended a similar program in the 1960s at Ohio State University.
"I was on the borderline of getting in trouble.
That program got me started off on this career.
Not every kid is going to become a mathematician, but we have a lot of our students choose careers in math and the sciences."
What does corporate support such as that from MathWorks mean to PROMYS' bottom line?
"It keeps us alive," Rosenberg said.
