Today, more than 180 Math Circle programs are operating across the country in conjunction with universities, and more than 210 Circles have been formed since 1994. UCF is happy to be part of a national effort to encourage and develop mathematical insight in students.<\/p>\n<p>During each session, students will focus on and explore\u00a0a theme in mathematics. Handouts and questions will guide students to explore the topic at hand and after each session, they will be posted on\u00a0the website to encourage those who missed a session to participate.<\/p>\n<p>There are 3 sessions left:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Saturday, February 06<\/li>\n<li>Saturday, February 13<\/li>\n<li>Saturday, February 20 &#8211; Olympiade Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All sessions for Spring 2016 will be held on Saturdays from 3:00pm-4:30pm in room 318 of the Mathematical Sciences Building on the UCF Campus.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Central Florida\u00a0Math Circle, <a href=\"http:\/\/math.cos.ucf.edu\/circle\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Come experience the exhilaration of mathematical exploration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Mathematics at UCF presents\u00a0The Central Florida Math Circle.
