NDSU’s Department of Mathematics launches a new program called Math Circle on Monday, Oct. 27. The program is for high school students who want to be challenged in math.
 
NDSU math professors will lead weekly sessions where they will introduce topics students would not typically encounter in a high school math curriculum. Students will learn to think through problems like seasoned mathematicians.
 
The program is scheduled for Mondays, Oct. 27 to Dec. 8, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., in Minard 404, 1210 Albrecht Blvd., Fargo. The program will resume in January 2015.
