Central Kentucky Mathematics Circles
The Central Kentucky Mathematical Circles (CKMC) serves pre-college students in Central Kentucky by providing stimulating and engaging mathematical enrichment guided by Faculty Affiliates from throughout the Bluegrass region. Our goal is to provide students with opportunities and encouragement to become passionate and excited about mathematics. General information about math circles and their history can be found on the National Association of Math Circles website. A podcast featuring Ben Braun and Carolyn Troha discussing our Circles is available from Innovate Kentucky.
