OSU Math faculty members and students offered a number of weekly Math Circle meetings for Corvallis students during the 2024-2025 academic year.

A math circle is a meeting where participants do math. Typically this consists of group work on interesting problems that complements, but does not overlap with, traditional curricula. Examples include explorations in combinatorics (counting), probability, geometry, logic and modeling.

Students from the following schools participated:

• Franklin elementary and middle school
• Lincoln elementary
• Linus Pauling middle school
• Cheldelin middle school
• Corvallis and Crescent Valley High Schools

Thanks very much to our math circle leaders: Farid Bouya, Philip Danso, Hannah Dempsey, Nathan Gibson, Sahir Gill, Lee Klingler, Roan Luikart, Victory Obieke, Emmanuel Oguadimma, Kelsey Quaisley, Bailey Sharon, Hsiang Thum, Madison Wagner, Emerson Worrell, Sergio Zamora Barrera. Collectively, approximately 216 person-hours was spent in front of students during Math Circles this year.

If you have any questions about these math circles, please contact Prof. Nathan Gibson.
