Details

Math Circles are the improvisational comedy of mathematics: you start with a script, and then you say “yes, and...” to all questions and queries, building an atmosphere of exploration and discovery that builds enthusiasm for mathematics. They work at all grade levels, from kids to PhDs, and we’ll demonstrate some fun mathematics activities and discuss principles of success- ful math circles.
