The Department of Mathematics at Medgar Evers College proposes the initiation of a Mathematics Circle in Central Brooklyn to serve all middle schools (Public and Private) with particular emphasis on those serving predominantly minority populations in Kings County. The concept of the Medgar Evers College Math Circle is to engage a broader, younger and more diverse student body, in the development of their mathematical interest and talent. The purpose of the program is to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented students who become mathematics educators and researchers, or who simply love and use mathematics in their studies, work and daily activities. We want:

• To draw kids to mathematics and to motivate them to excel in the subject;

• In particular, we want to attract middle school children to the program who are part of the Central Brooklyn community.

• More specifically we want to target those students who are socially, economically and culturally disadvantaged who might otherwise not participate in such an activity
  

• To introduce them to the wonders of beautiful mathematical theories, and

• To encourage them to undertake futures linked with mathematics, whether as mathematicians, mathematics educators, scientists, computer scientists, economists or business leaders.
