The Math Circle meets this Wednesday afternoon. What happens when combine Logical Arithmetic with Lines to Infinity? We’ll invent a new system of geometry that’s much simpler than the one you learned in school. Math Circle OnlineWednesday 22 April 2020, 4:00-5:30PM Check your email for login instructions.
This Saturday, we’ll continue our study of “very close” rational solutions to the sqrt(N) problem… finding an approximate value for sqrt(61). Then we’ll take a look at an ancient puzzle by Archimedes about counting the number of cattle in Sicily.

The Math Circle meets Saturday to continue the topic: Squares and Triangles. We will see how it ties into a famous equation that (almost) gives the square root of 2, and was studied by Pythagoras, Archimedes, Brahmagupta, and Fermat.

This is a continuation of our introduction to Mathematical Modeling – applying math to simulate and make predictions about real world systems, using Google Sheets. The planet Sol 3 is under attack from a virus pandemic. We apply our modeling skills to the current COVID-19 crisis. How does an individual’s behavior affect the outcome of …
The year is 2385. The Human Confederation’s fleet of 10 starships is orbiting Eltanin Prime when it is suddenly attacked by a force of 8 ships from the warlike Isather Empire. What will be the outcome of this epic battle? This is an introduction to Mathematical Modeling – applying math to simulate and make predictions …
Our study of the Quadratic Formula continues… we’ll look at a way to solve quadratic equations without doing any calculations. Math Circle OnlineWednesday March 25, 2020 4:00-5:30PMFree of charge Look for login instructions in your email.
Every math student learns a magical mathematical formula that goes something like this: “Negative B Plus or Minus the Square Root of …“. We’ll take a look at this formula from some unusual angles (e.g., from upside down…). Math Circle OnlineSunday March 21, 2020 1:00-2:30PMFree of charge Look for login instructions in your email.
