Greater Miami Valley Computer Science Circle
Dear Miami Valley Residents,
The Greater Miami Valley Computer Science Circle (GMVCSC) for high school students and advanced level middle school students is now in its second year. We have students from all over the Greater Dayton and Cincinnati areas. GMVCSC has classes from 10AM to 12PM on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month in Room 170 of the Mathematical and Microbiological Sciences (MM) Building on the main campus of Wright State University.
Topics for this semester include: an introduction to problem solving, computational science education and career, Python and Java programming, and more. (See Fall 2016 Class Schedule copied below!)
Our volunteer instructors come from both academia and industry. For more information on this Saturday’s session (29-October), please see the included flyer. The computer science circle had over 40 students last year and has the same amount this semester.
However, we do need more instructors because it would be nice to divide the circle into two groups based on the level of mathematical knowledge. Please contact us (Dr. Lining Qi at qiln@yahoo.com or Dr. Munsup Seoh at munsup.seoh@wright.edu if you are interested in helping the Circle by giving talks/workshops/etc.
If your or your friends’ children are interested in joining one of our circles, please email Dr. Lining Qi at qiln@yahoo.com or Dr. Munsup Seoh at munsup.seoh@wright.edu.
Thank you very much for your attention to this letter,
Munsup Seoh, Ph.D., and Lining Qi, Ph.D.

Greater Miami Valley Math Circle
Dear Miami Valley Residents,
The Greater Miami Valley Math Circle (GMVMC), in its 3rd year of operation, is an organization dedicated to helping the students of the Miami Valley and beyond. Our math circle focuses on mathematical enrichment and problem solving while also providing a few competition opportunities. We have three levels: Beginning (Grades 5-7), Intermediate (Grades 7-9), and Advanced (Grades 9-12 with completion of Algebra I). Faculty come from local school districts, area colleges and universities, private industry, and local government. We have students from all over the area and beyond; we are truly a "Greater Miami Valley" organization!
We meet from 10:30am-Noon every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month during the school year (September-early May) in the Mathematical and Microbiological Sciences (MM) Building on the campus of Wright State University.
Enrichment topics include age-appropriate treatments of logic and proof, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, algebra, statistics, and more. We cover topics not usually seen in school mathematics and reinforce and explain things learned in school as well. Competition opportunities include the American Mathematics Contest 8th Grade Test (AMC 8 Test) for our younger students each fall and the Ohio Mathematics Contest (OMC) for all of our students each spring.
If you would like to inquire about enrolling for our group, please contact either Mr. Erik Potts (at erik.potts@wright.edu) or Dr. Munsup Seoh (at munsup.seoh@wright.edu). Spaces are limited! If there is not space for your child at the time you email us, then you will be placed on our waiting list. Available spaces will be offered to those on our waiting list first, with priority given to those on the list longest.
And, if you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering with our organization, then please let us know as well! We will be happy to talk with you and see where your skills and talents can be best used!
Lastly, please let us know if you have any questions and see the below flyer about our group. We thank you in advance for your time and consideration in reading this letter and wish you well!
Sincerely,
Dr. Munsup Seoh and Mr. Jason Knapp
Co-Founders, Greater Miami Valley Math Circle
