Western University's COMC Bootcamp
The Western University COMC Boot Camp is a two-day enrichment program designed to help secondary school students prepare for the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC). Through a combination of lectures, worked examples, and guided problem-solving sessions, participants will strengthen their mathematical reasoning skills, develop effective contest-writing strategies, and gain experience with the types of questions commonly seen on past COMC examinations.
