We were very pleased to have our neighbor, Dr. Dimitar Grantcharov deliver the lecture this past Saturday. He focused his talk around some engaging and deep problems from his last contest at UT Arlington: UTA 2010 Competition Problems.
The students enjoyed solving each problem and then exploring greater depth and generalizations beyond their solutions. This was an excellent way to better prepare them for the upcoming AMC and AIME contests.
As a reminder, February 5th there will be no Metroplex Math Circle so students can go to Arlington to compete in the Second Annual UT Arlington Math Competition where they will encounter similar challenging problems.
Dr. Grantcharov is also kicking off a new semester of his own math circle in Arlington:
Dear (MC)^2 Friends:
Our first Spring 2011 Math Circle meeting will be held next Tuesday, January 25, at 7:00 pm in PKH 107. Please note that we will meet in a new room this semester. The Mid-Cities Math Circle will run every week and every meeting will last about 60 minutes. The first two meetings will be AMC10-AIME problem-solving sessions.
As usual, the Math Circle is intended for high-school and advanced middle-school students. Teachers are welcome to come to the meetings as well. The web site of the Mid Cities Math Circle is www.midcitiesmathcircle.org
If you plan to come next Tuesday and do not know where to park, a good option would be to use the Garage right next to PKH. Please, keep the parking receipts, so that I can reimburse you later. Maps of the campus can be downloaded at http://www.uta.edu/maps/pdf
Snacks and drinks will (hopefully) be provided. Also, there are still a few copies of the book of Zvezdelina Stankova “A Decade of the Berkeley Math Circle” left. You can get a copy for the (special) prize of $20.
Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested in attending our Math Circle. I am looking forward to see you all on Tuesday.
Best regards,
Dimitar
