Are you a high-school student who loves mathematics? Do you find the traditional mathematics curriculum far too easy? Do you want to learn fascinating and challenging mathematics? Do you want to work on problems and make friends with mathematically-minded peers? If so, you have come to the right place!
What
Euler Circle is a mathematics institute for advanced students who love mathematics. We offer a range of college-level mathematics classes, specifically tailored to the needs of advanced high-school students, many of whom have exhausted the mathematics curriculum at their schools and want to learn more. Each class we offer is the equivalent of a college mathematics class. In each class, students solve many problems to gain familiarity with new material, and in the advanced classes each student writes an expository paper on a topic related to the class material.
The classes are set up in such a way as to provide a pathway to independent research. Many of our problem sets in the advanced classes include unsolved problems that students can explore once they have mastered the material presented in class. We offer small group meetings for students interested in working on the research problems once they have demonstrated the ability to work hard on challenging problems. See more on research in Euler Circle.
Why
There is more to mathematics than competitions. Yet there are few resources available for high-school students to learn about the rest of the wonderful world of mathematics. We believe that many students would like to see what else is out there, and we want to share what we know.
When/where
In the summer, we will have two sessions. In the first summer session, we will have an independent research and paper writing class, where each student works on a topic and writes a 20-page paper on it, and in the second summer session, we will have a cryptography class. Summer classes are purely online, so students from around the world are welcome to apply.
In the fall, we will have a mathematical thinking class, a transition to proofs class on transitioning to proofs in number theory, a class between the transition and advanced classes on fundamentals of higher mathematics focusing on linear and abstract algebra, and an advanced class on combinatorial game theory. Classes will be held in hybrid in-person (in Palo Alto)/online format, so students from around the world are welcome to apply.
