a Math Circle for High School students, started in January 2010,
organized by SB Family School.
The Santa Barbara Math Ellipse is a reformulation of the ARML group that
had been meeting
in Goleta for the previous five years to participate in the ARML math competition.
As a Math Circle, the group continues to focus on ARML preparation, but
also offers explorations of various other intriguing mathematical topics,
including guest lectures by faculty from UCSB
and other schools.
For lots more information about Math Circles in general, and the Santa
Barbara Math Ellipse
in particular, please read the about page.
The Santa Barbara Math Ellipse generally meets twice a month on Saturday afternoons, from approximately 2:45 to 5:30 p.m., at SB Family School in Goleta. Some meetings are located on the UCSB campus.
The Santa Barbara Math Ellipse is open to any interested high school student in the Santa Barbara area. Enrollment is limited to 12 students and is on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the discretion of the organizer. (Santa Barbara Math Ellipse groups for younger students are also being organized this year.)
Although no commitment is required at this time, in order to attend a
Santa Barbara Math
Ellipse meeting, you must fill out the online registration
form and bring a signed waiver form.
And please also make a donation to cover some
of the expenses if you can. Thank you.
The Santa Barbara Math Ellipse is supported by SB Family
School
and donations from parents and other interested community members.
