Stanford Math Circle

The Stanford Math Circle is a weekly math meeting for middle school and high school students. Over 30 students come each week and are presented with difficult, original and always fun mathematical puzzles. As part of the Bay Area Science Festival, the math circle will be open to new members this night only.

Students in grades 7 through 12 are welcome. Their parents are also welcome, but must promise to not participate in the discussions or problem solving - the math circles are for the students.

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
