The Berkeley Math Circle (BMC) is a weekly program for over 500 San Francisco Bay Area elementary, middle and high school students. The weekly sessions are held on Tuesdays evenings at the UC Berkeley campus. The program is supported through UC Berkeley Math, Statistics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department, MSRI, Simons' Institute and parents' donations.
"The fundamental idea of the Program is to create such amazing opportunity in mathematics for any Bay Area kid, to welcome and encourage any kid to attend, to discover raw talent where it wasn't seen before, to draw kids from different backgrounds, different schools and economic means to love and to know mathematics, and hopefully to use it in their career and life choices in the future."
