Current Programs Open for Registration
In-Person Math Enrichment Program (November 4 - December 2 2023, 5 Weeks)
Location: In-Person (St George Campus)
Schedule: Saturdays, 10 AM - 1 PM and 1 PM - 1:15PM (Q&A / Office Hours)
Course Description: In this course, we’ll study connections between concrete scientific problems and dynamical systems, a subfield of mathematics dedicated to understanding oscillations, chaos, and other complex behaviours associated to quantities that change over time according to simple prescribed rules. As a group, we will use ideas from dynamical systems theory to carefully understand the scientific merit of mathematical models. We’ll also examine basic strategies from control theory for stabilizing dynamical systems that model rudimentary mechanical devices. Time permitting, we’ll investigate the use of basic probabilistic Markov chain models for predicting certain natural outcomes and explore computer simulations of the models. A background in coding is not required (though it is strongly encouraged!).
Please Note: This course is open to Grade 9 - 12 students, but the class will be taught at a Grade 10 - 12 level. Students in Grade 9 with a strong interest and background in mathematics may join this course.
Fee: $325 + tax
Online Winter Math Contest Preparation Club (January 9 – February 1 2024, 4 Weeks)
Location: Online
Schedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm (ET - Local Toronto Time)
Course Description: The Winter Math Contest Club will cover contest questions and problem solving strategies that students may come across when writing contests. This course will help students to hone their skills in quickly assessing how to solve a problem by recognizing its type. All students are welcome! Whether students are new to contest writing or experienced, students will gain exposure to mathematical problem solving and logical thinking in a fun atmosphere with peers and instructors who enjoy doing math.
Relevant Contest: Math Kangaroo 9/10, Math Caribou, Pascal, Cayley, Fryer, Galois
Fee: $255 + Tax
