Math circle

A math circle is an extracurricular activity intended to enrich students' understanding of mathematics. The concept of math circle came into being in the erstwhile USSR and Bulgaria, around 1907, with the very successful mission to "discover future mathematicians and scientists and to train them from the earliest possible age".[1]
