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.
Let’s take look at straight lines from a new perspective. We’ll see that the basic building blocks of geometry – points and lines – are really not all that different. Then we’ll take a brief visit to infinity (and beyond). Join us for an online session of the Math Circle. When: Saturday March 14, 10:00 …
The Math Circle resumes this weekend for the topic: “Monday is One Day”. My birthday was on a Monday this year – I really hate that… but it will be on a Saturday in 2024 – much nicer! Following the approach of mathematician John Conway, we will learn how to apply modulo 7 mental arithmetic …
Please join us as the Math Circle meets this Saturday to consider Arithmetic Without Numbers. We’ll learn how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and take square roots, without writing down any numbers or calculations. We’ll just use a piece of wood and a bit of string, along with an all-time classic math book. When: Saturday …
The Math Circle convenes this Sunday to consider the Case of Squares and Primes. You know what square numbers are, and you know what prime numbers are. Curious patterns emerge when we look at the differences between them. To help us deduce the facts of the matter, we may call upon the help of a …
The Math Circle is going to the Exeter Math Club Competition on January 25th. We are fielding 3 teams of 4 members each. Look for an email with the team assignments. Here is relevant information: Where: Powell Hall Music Center, Phillips Exeter AcademyWhen: Plan to arrive before 9:30 am for registration. The contest runs until …
