UCSB Math Circle

University of California, Santa Barbara
                                      

Meetings in SPRING 2013 will be held  from April 5 to June 7, on Fridays from 3:45 to 5:15 pm at the College of Creative Studies,
Old Little Theatre, Room 164B at the UCSB campus. (Follow the link to see directions to the location.)



Mathematical Circles bring mathematicians and mathematical scientists into direct contact with pre-college students.

The goal is to engage highly-motivated students in a collaborative environment and foster the exploration and discovery of mathematical concepts that are beyond traditional curriculum.

Math circles were originally inspired by the Eastern European problem discussion approach to math education.
   



The UCSB Math Circle was funded on October, 2009.  This year  only high school  students and advanced junior-high students are eligible to participate.

The program is free. We only request each family to donate snacks for all the participants once a quarter. Donations to support our Math Circle are also welcome. The professors and graduate students leading the seminars will donate their time.


The UCSB Math Circle is generously supported by a Dolciani Grant from MAA, the Gervitz School of Education at UCSB, Dr. Daryl Cooper, the Santa Barbara GATE program, and professors and graduate students in the  Department of Mathematics at UCSB who donate their time.
