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).

UCLA Mathematics Festival: April 9, 2011
The Curtis Center and IPAM hosted the 3rd annual 2011 Mathematics Festival on April 9th. The festival was sponsored by the Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins University. The students attended a keynote talk by Harvey Mudd Mathematics Professor Micheal Orrison and a panel discussion on Careers in Mathematics. Following the keynote talk, students and parents attended three hour-long sessions in which each student participated in problem solving in groups with professors, international researchers and graduate students, as well as attend talks by professors and high school teachers. Thank you to all those who attended. We hope to see you next year!

Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project Resource
As part of its statewide services, MDTP provides two on-line tests available for student use to help them prepare for Precalculus and Calculus level mathematic courses. The on-line multiple-choice 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 on-line test includes a diagnostic scoring report to help students identify strengths and weaknesses in some topic areas. These 40 question multiple-choice tests should be taken without a calculator. 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 report is provided at no charge. |
