History
The Agoura Math Circle is a student-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit community service organization founded by Pranav Kalyan in September 2015. Eastern European math circle culture was the inspirational source for Agoura Math Circle to bring like minded math lovers together. For the first few years the medium of instructions was provided by math enthusiasts: educators, parent volunteers and extraordinary students. Eventually a strong knowledge base was formed with highly competitive study material and Agoura Math Circle students who finished the program started taking over. Today we are proud to call ourselves a student run program.
Overview
Agoura Math Circle is a community service initiative offering a free educational program with a primary focus on cultivating problem-solving skills that carves a path for the students to succeed in both academics and beyond.
