PROMYS Math Circle

Quick Facts about PMC

PROMYS Math Circle (PMC) provides weekly extracurricular math circles to approximately 100 students in a number of Massachusetts high schools with the goal of expanding access to rigorous problem-solving opportunities. A virtual math circle accommodates students without a circle in their school. Throughout the year, special events bring PMC students together to engage in fun and collaborative mathematics. In 2020, PMC launched a free summer program which ran virtually for the past two years. For summer 2022, PROMYS is running a 4-week, non-residential day program on the campus of Boston University.
