Great Math Opportunity!

Hi guys!

I wanted to let you all know about a great FREE math resource for those who can get to UMBC once or twice a month :)

The Baltimore Area Math Circle (organized by Steven Southall, TLCI high schooler) is for high school level students, and meets twice a month.

One of the meetings is a lecture from a professional mathematician, scientist, or engineer. In the past we have had lectures on digital communications, algorithims for networks, and the mathematics and physics of navigation.

The second meeting each month is a problem solving session, led by professional mathematicians. We have only had one problem session so far, but it was a lot of fun!

We meet in room 204 of the Public Policy building on the UMBC campus. Meetings are on Wednesday evenings at 6:30. Lectures run until 7:30, problem sessions until 8:00.

Upcoming problem sessions are November 18 (this Wednesday!) and December 16. There is also a lecture coming up, on December 9. The speaker will be Victor Sanchez, an antenna engineer an Northrop Grumman.

Although mostly homeschoolers attend the meetings, they are open to the public. So if you have a friend who goes to school who wants to come, bring them along!

If you have any questions just leave them in a comment, and I'll forward them to Steven.

Hope to see some of you there!
