This book describes projects in a Mathematical "Circle," i.e., an organization that discovers and nurtures young mathematical talents through meaningful extra-curricular activities. This is the second volume in a trilogy describing in particular the S.M.A.R.T. Circle project, which was founded in Edmonton, Canada in 1981. The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Saturday Mathematical Activities, Recreations & Tutorials. This book, Volume II, is based on the papers published in scientific and education journals by the Circle members while they were still in junior high school (some still in...

This book is the first volume of a trilogy describing the S.M.A.R.T. Circle, which was founded in Edmonton, Canada, in 1981. Mathematical Circles are organizations that discover and nurture young mathematical talents through meaningful extra-curricular activities. (The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Saturday Mathematical Activities, Recreations & Tutorials.) This Volume I provides an overview how to run a Circle, and it is a sampling of many things, including projects and mini-courses. Volume II, which consists of student-projects, outlines why the Circle is run, and Volume III, consisting of...
