Abstract

Lajos Pósa has been organizing weekend mathematics camps for highly gifted students to foster their development with a special method since 1988. During these 30 years, he and his disciples led more than 350 camps for more than 1500 students. Students’ work dominantly takes the form of a special team work, and is based on a five-year-long coherent curriculum organized around problem threads, which form a complex web. These threads run parallel, in ‘harmony’, supplementing and assisting each other’s development. Effectiveness of the camps is reflected in the fact that in the past 25 years, almost all members of the Hungarian IMO teams were participated in these camps before.
