Summer is here for the Bard Math Circle, but there is still plenty you can do to keep your brain active until our fall 2017 semester begins.
Math Enrichment Websites
We recommend the following math websites for students. Each of the following sites is full of math, and for best usage, free membership accounts are required.
Art of Problem Solving is the original, and has an amazing collection of contest problems, and we recommend that you start with their game ALCUMUS.
Expii is an amazing math resource that emphasizes explanations. You can solve problems and explain how you did it (and read other’s explanations as well), or just read about any area of mathematics. We recommend that you start with Expii Solve.
Brilliant is a math enrichment website, that is featuring a 100 Day Summer Challenge - one problem a day, all summer long! Start your summer off right with the Animal Scales Warmup Puzzle.
If you enjoy any of these sites, or have other recommendations, please send us an email!
Rubik's Cube Club
The Rubik's Cube Club is hosting a Cubing USA competition on Saturday, June 10, 2017 from 8:30am to 6:00pm. Visit the CubingUSA page for details.
The competition is already full, but if you've been attending our Rubik's Cube Club, please attend and be a judge! Just email Professor Lauren Rose for more information about judging.
C.A.M.P.
Our 2017 Creative and Analytical Math Program (C.A.M.P.) is now in waiting list mode. But it is possible that a space will open. If you're interested, please apply!
C.A.M.P. runs for one week late in the summer: 8/28 to 9/1, at Bard College.
For Math Teachers
The Mid-Hudson Teachers' Math Circle is holding their 5th Annual Summer Workshop at Bard College on Thursday (6/29) and Friday (6/30). The topic is Engaging in Mathematics Through Puzzles and Games and the event is co-sponsored by Bard College & Ulster County BOCES.
Facebook Page
We're now on Facebook! Please like our Facebook Page. We plan to occasionally share Bard Math Circle updates there, as well as some of our favorite mathematical tidbits. If you visit right now, you can help us choose our new logo (one possible design is featured at the top of this email).
Have a wonderful (and of course a mathematical) summer!
