What’s a math circle?
Mathematical circles are weekly gatherings of students of high school age or younger working on problems involving complex and advanced topics, guided by mathematicians and educators. The motivation for this program is to increase the interest and enjoyment of mathematics among Bay Area students who learn to provide structured solutions to thought-provoking problems.
How do I join the math circle?
SJMC opens student registration around mid-August and closes mid September. We usually send an announcement to our mailing list and post it on our website.
