Math Circle Survey

TESTIMONIALS

“Enrichment aspect – making the young minds go “far and beyond.” I always loved it, always will.”

“Great experience, particularly, when hands-on problem-solving activities are included. Usually, it provide interesting information make students who come to sessions can brainstorm issues as teams and get to know each other better in the process, as Social interaction is an important aspect for the young folks.”

“The program gave me a different, interesting, and enlightening perspective on mathematics.  I attended often, and feel privileged to learn about mathematics from an entirely new angle.”

“I enjoyed being to interact on the same level as professors.  This experience helped me understand and interact with future professors at my school.”

“Mathematically, I enjoyed learning about mathematics in a fun, non-competitive, and engaging environment not often found in classrooms.  I believe this contributed to my conceptual ability in mathematically related endeavors like economics.”

“Math circles made me entirely unafraid of mathematics.  As a result, I believe I have a stronger conceptual understanding of mathematics than my colleagues, and am able to apply it everyday life.”

“Math was once again proven to me as a key analytical skill.”

“When I was younger I used to think all math was about was memorization and learned skills, however this program and my school showed me that math was a way of thinking, and applying solutions to a problem.”

“I hope this program continues, it is truly a challenging and new way to show students what they can do with math.”

“I greatly enjoyed attending the Mobile Math Circle(MMC) and the Olympiads.”

“I attended regularly and enjoyed the topics. The MMC showed various ideas involving logic or math in new ways that aren’t usually taught in school.”

“I enjoyed the new skills and math that we learned to use in innovative ways.”

“The MMC and MMO introduced me to the problem solving aspect of math, where math is used in imaginative ways to solve unusual problems.”

It just made me think more “outside of the box.”

“It was a great challenge for my mind.It showed me that math is applied to most things that we encounter in everyday life.”

“I had a great time attending the program because it provided several nice evenings to not worry about homework or school-related stresses.  The MMC/MMO also helped me to enjoy mathematics more than ever before.”

“It showed me how math goes far beyond numbers written on a piece of paper.  It also gave insight for math applied in previous generations, such as the “Slide Rule Night,” and the program applied concepts that were not strictly math-related.”

“This program applied not only numerical mathematics, but also its theories and practices.  As a result, I now see math as quite practical in areas outside the mathematical field itself.”

“The Mobile Math Circle was AMAZING. I learned to think outside the box to come up with answers to the problems.”
