The workshop ran from 9 am to 10 pm each day with the evening session on the last day replaced by a much needed party. Work time was divided roughly evenly between lectures and problem solving sessions. The lectures were organized into several series on core topics like analysis, algebra, and topology-geometry (with content based on a document called What every incoming student is expected to know). There were problem sets corresponding to each lecture series, and significant projects in which groups of students learned some new mathematics and presented it in a 1-hour lecture at the end of the workshop. There were also a couple of sessions on practical matters like students' trajectory through the program and internships.
