    Tatiana Shubin from SJSU will present on her experience visiting Mathematical Circles in Moscow as part of an NSF-funded study tour. The study tour aimed to observe the Russian model of Mathematical Circles firsthand, which has produced generations of Russian mathematicians and scientists. Shubin hopes to share her remarkable experiences and insights into what sustains the Russian tradition of nurturing young mathematical talents. Her talk will explore questions about the Russian system and whether aspects of it could be adapted to benefit mathematical education in the US. Snacks will be provided before the 3pm talk.

    Mathematical Circles - Russian Experience


    February 7, 2007, MH 423
    Abstract: In November of 2006, MSRI (with support from the NSF) organized a study tour of Mathematical Circles in Moscow. In their invitation to join the group, they wrote: The Russian model of Mathematical Circles has fed the production of Russian mathematicians and scientists for several generations. We would like to observe rst-hand this living tradition, with the goal of adapting it to American circumstances. As a member of this group of 19 people from 10 dierent states I have had some truly remarkable experience that I would like to share. Despite the hardships of the Soviet era totalitarianism and the calamities of the last two decades, the great tradition of nurturing young mathematical talents lives on. What is it that sustains it? Can we learn from it? Do we want to? In this talk I will try to answer these and other questions relating to mathematical education.
