Mission
The Metroplex Math Circle is a program designed to attract talented students to mathematics and to provide an accelerated avenue to develop students' mathematical and problem-solving skills.
Specifically, the goals of the Metroplex Math Circle are:
- To draw students to mathematics and to motivate them to excel in the subject;
- To draw students to the program who are economically disadvantaged and who might otherwise not attend;
- To prepare students for mathematical contests;
- To encourage students to pursue careers linked to mathematics, including careers in science, research, business or academia.
The Metroplex Math Circle will achieve these goals by:
- Exposing middle and high school students to exciting mathematics presented by research mathematicians, mathematics educators and internationally seasoned Olympiad problem-solvers;
- Providing extracurricular opportunities to extend mathematical knowledge and skill well beyond the school curriculum;
- Giving opportunities to students to meet and work with other students of similar or superior math abilities and aspirations;
- Creating a forum for testing students' math competition skills
