Math-grounded work
Students build quantitative precision before relying on tools, models, or shortcuts.
Selective Research / AI / Programming
A four-member research cohort built around math maturity, programming discipline, documentation, and student-owned project growth.
Research readiness
Students build quantitative precision before relying on tools, models, or shortcuts.
Source logs, notebooks, reproducible code, figures, and revisions become visible evidence of ownership.
Small-team mentoring works only when students can accept correction and keep steady work between meetings.
