MATHEMATICAL MOMENTS
WITH MAMIKON
Mamikon is a an ex-Soviet Doctor of Sciences
and Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. He immigrated to the
United States in 1991 and joined the LUCIMATH team in 2002. Mamikon
enjoys visiting MCPT courses and participating in MCPT trainings.
One of Mamikon's gifts is his ability to enhance our teacher conversations
about mathematics with connections that are unusual, interesting,
and relevant. These links are examples of the interactive demonstrations
and activities that Mamikon has created to support MCPT mathematics.
For more information about Mamikon and to explore other puzzles,
games and mathematical connections that he has created, please
