A note about age.

We are often asked what ages our math circle meetings are for.  We believe that math is for people of all ages.  There is a hidden assumption in our society that doing math is 'only for kids' or 'for school.'  We disagree.  Everyone, even adults, is allowed to have fun doing math.  Nevertheless, some things, like our Advanced Contest Math Class, assume some level of knowledge.  Let the topics be the guide.
