Maths circle

Group lessons based on the math circle concept. Students are encouraged to go well beyond the topics prescribed by the school curriculum. The math circle concept, which brings together mathematicians and students to solve problems, was introduced in the U.S. in 1994 by Robert and Ellen Kaplan at Harvard University. This tradition, which originated in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and in Bulgaria before 1907, was brought to the U.S. by émigrés who later established math circles in their communities.
