About us

The UCLA Math Circle is free and open to all high school and advanced middle school students interested in mathematics and eager to learn.

The circle meets weekly on Sundays, 2-4 p.m., with many of the sessions led by UCLA math professors. The topics are as varied as some plane geometry, elementary number theory, fractals, combinatorics, game theory, etc. The main goal is to learn wonderful mathematics not covered in a typical school curriculum but accessible to the mathematically inclined students. Another goal is to actively engage students in problem solving and to learn effective problem solving strategies.
