Doing mathematics should always mean finding patterns and crafting beautiful and meaningful explanations.   -- Paul Lockhart

Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is.   --Paul Erdos 

Dr. Muhammad Usman brought an enticing topic of exposing school kids to the charisma of patterns. The math circle was conducted on February 25, 2022. Around 15 students came from Nankana Sahib to attend this circle. In total, around 35 students from various schools and colleges attended the circle. It is probably the only forum where students from various schools got the opportunity to interact with each other and engage in learning in entirely informal ways. 

Dr. Usman started the circle with a soft introduction of the Josephus problem through a thrilling story. It is one of the captivating classics of mathematical problems linked with patterns.

Our curious participants did a lot of fun in understanding the Josephus problem through fun games. Dr. Usman led his circle with detailed mathematical descriptions, each and everything was computed by everyone.    

It turns out to be a very interesting math circle, as all participants were super excited about knowing that finding patterns is so rewarding. In fact, all participants played the game of Josephus Problem, and the winner got the prize with a special donut box.  

Dr. Muhammad Usman did a remarkable job and deserves huge applaud for bringing excitingly important concepts in a highly interactive manner.
