Student Classes

MS A is appropriate for students who are new to problem-solving. In addition to having a strong interest in learning mathematics above and beyond the school curriculum, they should be well-versed in arithmetic, including order of operations, fractions, decimals, and percents. Topics and sample questions.

Note: Due to high interest, we are offering multiple sections of this course this semester. They constitute the same course but the “+” sections, when available, are taught at a deeper level and designed for students who have already taken this class 2 or more semesters in the past.

MS B is appropriate for students who have strong arithmetic skills and have some basic experience with algebra. They should have the equivalent of 2-4 semesters of MS A. Topics and sample questions.

MS C is appropriate for students who have strong arithmetic skills and considerable experience with algebra including some exposure to Algebra 1. They should have the equivalent of 2-4 semesters of MS B. Topics to be covered include continued fractions, graph theory, and Vieta’s formulas. Topics and sample questions.

HS A is appropriate for younger high school students who may be new to problem-solving. They should be comfortable with regular high school material, including at least Algebra 1. Topics and sample questions.

HS B Students are expected to have completed the equivalent of two years of high school, and have a solid understanding of algebra, geometry, and elementary number theory. Experience with problem solving, such as prior NYMC or math team participation, is desirable but not required. Proof-writing will be an important component of this course. Topics and sample questions. Here is a sample of Student Work

HS C Students are expected to have taken pre-calculus and to have a deeper knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, as well as experience with mathematical problem-solving. Problems will require sustained effort, and writing proofs will play an important role. Topics and sample questions. Here is a sample of Student Work

College Bridge is a course designed to challenge our most advanced students who plan to take higher-level mathematics classes in college. Emphasis will be on proof-writing and examination of underlying structures in mathematics.

Dr. Ustinovskiy will cover some topics that typically appear on USAMO. These topics are not only useful for Olympiad participants but are also of intrinsic interest. There is a short placement test to identify suitable students. Topics.

Students already taking other classes may take this class as well if they meet the admission standards.

This mini-course consists of 3 workshops that cover topics encountered in High School Math Contests such as AMC 10 (Intermediate) and AMC 12 (Advanced). NYMC is offering limited online seats for these two exams on February 10, 2021 - priority will be given to students who attend these workshops. The deadline to ask for a seat is January 13.

This mini-course consists of 3 workshops that cover topics encountered in Middle School Math Contests such as Mathcounts. Students who are currently in MSB/B+ or MSC/C+ should take the advanced level whereas students in MSA/A+ should take the intermediate level. Students who are not currently in our program should contact admin at info@nymathcircle.org.

This mini-course consists of 3 workshops that cover topics encountered in Middle School Math Contests such as MATHCOUNTS and AMC 8. MSA students should go into the intermediate level, and MSB/MSC students should register for the Advanced level. Students not in our program should take the appropriate placement test.
