Math Society
The purpose of Math Society is to allow high school students with a passion for math to explore the interesting aspects of math and build a nurturing community through mathematical collaborations. The meetings should be interesting and accessible both to those who already excel in math and to those who simply have an interest in math. Math Society will aim to bring these two groups of high schoolers together and to cultivate an interest in math that goes beyond school.
