The University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP) is an alternative secondary mathematics education program in Minnesota, operated by the University of Minnesota's School of Mathematics Center for Educational Programs (MathCEP). Classes are offered in St. Cloud, Rochester, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Program is supported by the Minnesota state legislature.
UMTYMP students represent some of Minnesota's finest, most promising math students. The course structure, intensity, and workload are unlike anything most students have seen before, and most students do not see courses of this rigor until college. UMTYMP alumni attend a laundry list of the nation's most competitive colleges and universities, with a large number of students attending Ivy League institutions, and many pursuing graduate degrees.

“Cold an old predicament of the breath:
Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.”

“Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honour as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.”

“I urge you to spend your youth profitably in study and virtue.... In brief, let me see in you an abyss of knowledge.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
