Welcome to the TAMU Math Circle!
Welcome to the TAMU Math Circle!
The Texas A&M Math Circle is a weekly outreach activity in the Fall and Spring semesters that bring together 5th - 12th graders for a fun afternoon of mathematics and problem solving. Students work directly with math professionals in an informal, interactive setting to learn about interesting topics in mathematics and to develop problem solving skills and techniques. The goal is to help students become passionate about math and think about topics that are not necessarily covered in the standard curriculum. Our instructors range from professors and graduate students at Texas A&M to experts from industry, all of whom are eager to share with students their passion for mathematics and its applications.

Hercules and Hydra
After a late night reading about classical mythology (or watching “Clash of the Titans” yet again), you drift off to sleep and dream that you are face-to-face with a many-headed monster that is clearly not happy to see you, either. “Ahah,” you think, “I must be Hercules and that . . . thing must be the Hydra!” Following the Hydra’s rules, can you contain it?

How easy is it to spread disease?
Students will learn about a model for spreading diseases and perform their own "experiment" in the form of a game where they will also collect data and explore what factors may help prevent spreading disease.

Remarkable Curves
Remarkable Curves
Ellipse, Parabola, and Hyperbola --- these curves literally rule the universe! These are paths of planets, comets, rockets, and space debris. We will use rulers and strings to draw these fascinating curves --- and explore a few other remarkable ones too. Spacesuits not required.
