Who can join the UCSB Math Circle? All female-identified junior-high school students are eligible for the program. The only other requirement is an interest in exploring new mathematical topics and solving challenging problems. Please let us know in advance if you have to miss a session, by emailing mbueno@math.ucsb.edu. Students who miss two or more sessions without notice will lose their spot in the math circle. What does it cost to join the UCSB Math Circle? There is no required fee to attend the UCSB Math Circle. The professors and students running the seminars are donating their time. A tax-deductible donation is welcome though to cover materials, snacks, and so forth. Can I join now? We only have room for 20-25 students. If we have available spots, you are welcome to join us. Otherwise, we will keep your personal information in a waiting list. To get on the waiting list, fill out the online registration form. Once your registration is received, you should get an email confirmation within a week. Students on the waiting list will be contacted when a spot opens up. When and where does the Math Circle meet? Sessions will be held on October 11, November 8, and December 6 from 4 - 5:30pm in the College of Creative Studies, Room 136. For more information on how to get to this building, look here. Where is the best place to park? Parking is available in parking lot 3 (map). The university charges a fee of 25 cents for every five minutes. If you want to avoid the parking fee, you can wait for your child inside your car when picking him/her up. Can parents attend a math circle session? Parents are welcome to sit in on a math circle session any time. However, since the space in the room is limited, we would appreciate if parents inform us in advance when they intend to stay so that we can plan accordingly. |
