DESCRIPTION
This book is based on material from a dozen of the 320 sessions of the Berkeley Mathematical Circle (CMB), over the last 10 years. In recent discussions, parents of students described the CMB as a mathematical circle of excellence.
Topics covered include combinatorics, graph theory, linear algebra, geometric transformations, recursive sequences, series, set theory, groups, number theory, elliptic curves, algebraic geometry, computing applications, natural sciences, economics and more.
Each topic is taught by an expert in the field who has the ability to challenge students and support them when they face such challenges. All problems require students to present mathematical proofs.
