The Colorado Math Circle won sixth place in the 2008–09 ARML Power Contest, just half a point behind three teams tied for third. This is the fourth consecutive year we have placed in the top ten. The Math Circle will be awarded a plaque at the ARML Competition in May.
The Colorado Math Circle won second place in the 2007–08 ARML Power Contest, a two-round essay-type math contest that attracts teams from math circles and top high schools throughout the U.S. Congratulations to all who participated!
Congratulations to Sam Elder who was named a 2008 USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) winner! Congratulations also to Charles Xu, who joined Sam at the 2008 Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MOSP)!
Interested in broadening your mathematical knowledge and sharpening your analytical thinking? Join the Colorado Math Circle for exciting math talks and problem solving sessions hosted by the University of Colorado at Boulder. Speakers will include math professors and mathematicians from around the state. Most of our talks are intended for advanced high school students. Topics are expected to include number theory, combinatorics, probability, geometry, and group theory.
NEW! For 2008–09, the new Galois Group will focus on problem solving for advanced middle schoolers. Students in grades 6–8 are welcome to attend meetings marked with an 'M' in the calendar.
The Euler Group will meet throughout the year to work on olympiad-level problems and other advanced math topics. It is intended for students who have extensive experience in advanced problem solving.
You may attend any meeting without pre-registering but if you would like to add your name to the Colorado Math Circle mailing list, please complete this registration form.
Check our calendar for the 2008–09 meeting schedule.
All meetings will take place at the University of Colorado at Boulder Engineering Center. (See driving directions.) The classroom location will change from month to month so please check our calendar for the correct room number.
We will be preparing for the 2009 ARML Competition throughout the year. In May 2008 thirty students from eighteen different schools represented Colorado at the national competition. For the third consecutive year, Colorado placed among the top twenty teams in the U.S., out of 120+ regional teams. In 2006 the Colorado ARML Team won first place in the B Division, outscoring over 80 teams from around the country and abroad. <more>
There is no fee for participating in the Colorado Math Circle. We are generously supported by the University of Colorado at Boulder Outreach Committee and the CU-Boulder Department of Applied Mathematics. Special thanks to Drs. Anne Dougherty and Congming Li for sponsoring our math circle.
