Next week we will be talking about Pick's Theorem, which can be found on our brochure. We will show the proof, some applications, as well as some examples. The lecture will be of medium difficulty, so anyone past Algebra 1 should get it. As soon as the handout is done, it will be posted

Below is a link to the handout for tomorrow. We will be talking about combinatorics and the binomial theorem. See you there! link: drive.google.com/file/d/1GBZD9eWpvJa91hZ7i8iXbmma2NVeUXz4/view?usp=sharing
Dear Math Enthusiasts,
There is a Math Enthusiasts’ Club meeting tomorrow, during lunch, in D11. We will be going over the solutions to the Santa Clara Math Contest practice problems. If this doesn’t interest you, we will also have photocopies of the actual contest from 2016, and the official solutions provided by the contest makers, (only usually available to coaches or parents that attend the contest) for you to work on together. If you would like to present your solution to a problem, especially to numbers seven or fifteen (other than “try numbers,” which works but I’m sure there’s a better way and would very much like to hear it), let me know at the start of the meeting and I would very much like both hear your solution and give you the opportunity to present. Also, the clubs fair is on Thursday during lunch, and we will have a booth. What we’ve found is people at the clubs fair are more attracted to an interesting booth than what the actual club is, so we’ve been assembling a collection of interesting-looking math-related items to put on display at the fair to make our booth as attractive as possible. If you have anything you would like to loan us until after the clubs fair that would make the booth a little more interesting, we would appreciate any contributions - I know this is late notice, but if you could bring such items tomorrow, that would be much appreciated. This doesn’t really matter, but the booth currently has a color scheme of purple and silver. Anyway, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow and encourage you to attend the clubs fair on Thursday! Sincerely, The Math Enthusiasts’ Club Officers It would be great if you could fill out this quick survey so we can get to know our audience: goo.gl/forms/8N9WVvMjITcTZFjx2

Our first meeting is on Tuesday the 28th! It will be at lunch in D11 (Mr. Ramroth's Room), so remember to come and bring all of your friends!
Euler CircleEuler Circle is a great after school class on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for anyone who enjoys math. The Tuesday and Wednesday class is for advanced students, while the Monday class is more introductory. Click the link below to visit their website. Stanford Math CircleThe Stanford Math Circle has more of a laid-back environment, and only holds lectures once a week. A different lecturer comes every few weeks, so it's a great way to get exposed to lots of different kinds of math. The skill level also changes with the lecturer, so at least some of the lectures will be accessible if you're a beginner. Julia Robinson Mathematics FestivalThe Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival is held once a year at Stanford. At the festival, there are many booths each with one adult. The festival is more activity related than algebraic, and encompasses a wide variety of levels and concepts. See the website below for more information. If there are any other good ones that we missed, feel free to let us know about them in the comments!
