AnnouncementsThe Stanford Math Circle will resume on Thursday, April 5, 2012.
Registration has opened for the spring quarter -- see the FAQ for registration instructions. The spring schedule
is now available!
Please email the director if
you have any questions about the SMC! The Stanford Math Circle is jointly sponsored by the Stanford University Education Program for Gifted Youth and the Stanford University Department of Mathematics. Please visit our Archives to see information about previous sessions (including sample lecture notes, handouts, and other SMC materials). To join the SMC, just show up at our next meeting and introduce yourself! We would love to see you! Please email the director if you have any questions about the SMC! The fee for participation in the SMC is $100 per academic quarter. This fee will generate funding for honoraria for session leaders, website maintenance, administrative costs, and use of the Stanford University facilities. Please note that financial aid is available and that we will not exclude students due to financial hardship, so please let us know if the fee would cause financial difficulty for your family.
Note: 
is a solution of the following problem: Draw 12 circles in a plane so
that every circle is tangent to exactly 5 others. Can you find other
solutions? Thanks to Paul Mennen, who wrote the code to generate this particular solution. |
