Dear Friends,
I hope you had a great summer. Good news! The Orange County Math Circle is expanding our programs during the 2010 - 2011 school year with funding from Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI). In addition to the three tournaments hosted last year, we are developing a program for Santa Ana School District to bring math circle experiences to the underserved students. We will also offer monthly lectures and mock exam sessions starting September 19, 2010. Again, please spread the words about OC Math Circle and come join us to experience the joy of mathematics! I wish you a successful year 2010-2011.
Thanks so much!
Johnny Li
