The Curtis Center aims to provide high quality mathematics activity for
students in local schools. We hope to provide students with a view of
mathematics as a creative reasoning and problem solving activity, with
intrinsic beauty and meaningful application.

The Los Angeles Mathematics
Circle
The UCLA Math Circle is free and open to elementary, middle school and high school students interested in mathematics and eager to learn. Students are divided into 3 groups: Junior circle (elementary school students, grades 1-4); Group A ( students in grades 4-7) and Group B ( students in grades 7-12). The Math Circle meets weekly on Sundays, 2-4 p.m. (3-4 p.m. for the Junior circle). Activities include problem-solving sessions, expository talks on various topics, and preparation for the American Mathematical Competitions (AMC8, AMC10, AMC12, AIME, USAMO).

Mathematics Institute for Young Scholars
|
This four-week summer day program is designed to deepen secondary
students' understanding of the work of professional mathematicians. The
program focuses on mathematics outside the typical school curriculum and
consists of course lectures, problem solving sessions, seminars and
field trips.
We will not be hosting the Mathematics Institute for Young Scholars in
the summer of 2013. Please check back for updates.

Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project
As part of its statewide services, MDTP provides two online multiple-choice
tests available for student use to help them prepare for Precalculus and
Calculus level mathematics courses, see http://mdtp.ucsd.edu/OnlineTests.shtml. These tests were designed to help individual students review their readiness for some mathematics courses and may be useful in preparing for some mathematical placement tests used by California colleges and universities. Each test includes a diagnostic scoring report to help students identify strengths and weaknesses in some topic areas. These tests should be taken without a calculator for best results. The recommended time needed for taking each test is approximately one hour, but there is no enforced time limit. The online tests and resulting diagnostic reports are provided at no charge. For teachers, the UCLA MDTP site serves Los Angeles and Ventura county teachers by distributing, scoring, and reporting the results of tests that measure student readiness for secondary mathematics courses, see
http://www.curtiscenter.math.ucla.edu/continuing.html.
