MATH CIRCLES AT FIU Announcements: Check for the new problems below! Room: GC 278A, Saturdays 2:30 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. Big Circle: February 6th. Little Circle: January 30th In the Little Circle: we are doing a bit more of Mechanics motivated geometry problems (gravity centers and applications) together with other topics' problems.
Description of the Program This is an outreach
program for motivated students from elementary to high school who are interested in mathematics. Math Circles were
introduced first in Hungary and other Eastern European countries in order
to select gifted in Mathematics middle and high school students and teach
them some more advanced topics in Elementary Mathematics. One of the goals
was to prepare those students for prestigious math competitions on local,
national, and international level. Traditionally, Math Circles are
organized and directed by research mathematicians who have been
participants in such Circles as students themselves, and have the passion
for helping the younger generation broaden their knowledge in more
interesting and deep mathematics.
All that the participants of the Math Circles at FIU need to have is math curiosity and the wish to work on mathematical problems. This semester, Spring'10, the program will meet every other Saturday, from 2:30 p.m. till 4:00 p.m. in GC (the Student Center) at the University Park campus of Florida International University, room is GC 278A. The first meeting is on January 16th.
Some of the books we are
using are: Problems for kids from 5 to 15 years old - by V. I. Arnol'd.
