The 3rd round of MathCircle@HBCSE for girls studying in Standard 9. Math Circles were initiated in 2022 as a pan-TIFR activity, and HBCSE has been hosting these since 2024.
Given the challenges faced by Math Circles across the country in sustaining the participation of girl students, HBCSE decided to organise face-to-face Math Circles exclusively for girls. In each round conducted since 2024, we have had around 30 girl students participating consistently over a period of three to four months.
The problems used in these Math Circles are intentionally atypical. The current round will run from today until the end of May, with sessions held every Wednesday from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Mathematics Laboratory (MB119).
