  • Zusatztext
    • This book provides an overview how to run a Mathematical "Circle", which is an organization that discovers and nurtures young Mathematical talents through meaningful extra-curricular activities. This is the first volume of a trilogy describing in particular the S.M.A.R.T. Circle project, which was founded in Edmonton, Canada, in 1981. The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Saturday Mathematical Activities, Recreations & Tutorials. This Volume I is a sampling of many things, including projects and mini-courses. Volume II, which consists of student-projects, outlines why the Circle is run, and Volume III, consisting of mini-courses, explaines what is done in the Circle. All three volumes contain substantial amounts of resources (mathematical problems, quizzes and games as well as their solution). The books will be of interest to self-motivated students who want to conduct independent research, teachers who supervise such students, and teachers who are running or planning to run Mathematical Circles.

  • Kurztext
    • This book provides an overview of how to run a Mathematical "Circle," i.e., an organization that discovers and nurtures young mathematical talents through meaningful extra-curricular activities. This is the first volume in a trilogy describing in particular the S.M.A.R.T. Circle project, which was founded in Edmonton, Canada in 1981. The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Saturday Mathematical Activities, Recreations & Tutorials.  This book, Volume I, offers a sampling of many aspects, including projects and mini-courses. Volume II, which consists of student projects, addresses the purpose of the Circle, and Volume III, consisting of mini-courses, explains what actually takes place in the Circle. All three volumes provide a wealth of resources (mathematical problems, quizzes and games, together with their solutions). The books will be of interest to self-motivated students who want to conduct independent research, teachers who work with these students, and teachers who are currently running or planning to run Mathematical Circles of their own.
