The Curtis Center aims to provide high quality mathematics activity for
students in local schools. We hope to provide students with a view of
mathematics as a creative reasoning and problem solving activity, with
intrinsic beauty and meaningful application.

The Los Angeles Mathematics
Circle
The UCLA Math Circle is free and open to elementary, middle school and high school students interested in mathematics and eager to learn. Students are divided into 3 groups: Junior circle (elementary school students, grades 1-4); Group A ( students in grades 4-7) and Group B ( students in grades 7-12). The Math Circle meets weekly on Sundays, 2-4 p.m. (3-4 p.m. for the Junior circle). Activities include problem-solving sessions, expository talks on various topics, and preparation for the American Mathematical Competitions (AMC8, AMC10, AMC12, AIME, USAMO).

UCLA Mathematics Festival: February 13, 2010
|
The Curtis Center and IPAM will be hosting the 2010 Mathematics Festival on Feb. 13th. The festival will be sponsored by the Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins University. The theme this year is "What is Mathematics?" The students will attend a keynote talk by Harvey Mudd's Professor Francis Su and a panel discussion on Careers in Mathematics. Following the keynote talk, there will be three hour-long sessions in which each student will problem solve in groups with professors, international researchers and graduate students, as well as attend talks by professors and high school teachers. Registration information will be posted here soon.

Mathematics Institute for Young Scholars: June 28 - July 30, 2010
|
The Curtis Center is pleased to offer the UCLA Mathematics Institute for Young Scholars in Summer 2010. The institute will be a five-week, day program for middle and high school students interested in probability theory. Students will attend course lectures taught by UCLA mathematics faculty, course problem solving sessions led by UCLA graduate students, and plenary seminars on a variety of topics. Students will also participate in a number of special outings, including a visit with undergraduate and industry researchers from around the world at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics' Research in Industrial Projects for Students. The Program will be held on June 28 through July 30, 2010 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The cost is $2250. Institute participants will earn college credit for and a letter grade in the college level course, Probability Theory. Registration information will be posted here soon.

The UCLA Site of the Mathematics Diagnostic
Testing Project
The MDTP provides two on-line tests available for student
use to help them prepare for Precalculus and Calculus level
mathematic courses. The on-line multiple-choice tests were
designed to help individual students review their readiness
for some mathematics courses and may be useful in preparing
for some mathematical placement tests used by some California
colleges and universities.
Each on-line test includes a diagnostic scoring report
to help students identify strengths and weaknesses in some
topic areas. These 40 question multiple-choice tests should
be taken without a calculator. The recommended time needed
for taking each test is approximately one hour, but there
is no enforced time limit. The online tests and resulting
diagnostic report is provided at no charge.
