Rigorous Mathematics with Proofs for High School Students in the Bronx
Lehman College Math Circle members are mathematically talented high school
students who come to Lehman College to enhance their
mathematics education.
See our
past events and
Spring 2008 events.
Most math circle members take
College Now math courses after school.
The courses are fully
funded through the College Now program with paid faculty, free
textbooks and college credit. Mr. Gantz
is the coordinator and Prof. Sormani is the math adviser. You may also contact a
college now liasson at a participating high school.
All students who participate in these courses become permanent
members of the Lehman College Math Circle.

One course currently offered every semester is
College Now Precalculus.
Our first semester we had students from 5 different hich schools learning a rigorous
precalculus with unit circle trigonometry, exponential and
rational functions and proofs.
It is a four credit course which covers the same
material as Lehman College's MAT172 and students must place into
MAT172 on the CUNY math placement exam to take the course.
See our
syllabus from Spring 2006. Like all college courses, this is a homework
intensive class.
This Spring 2007, offered College Now Programming Methods I
for students who have completed precalculus with unit circle trigonometry
or the equivalent.
This is a four credit course which covers the same material as Lehman
College's CMP230 including algorithms, programming in JAVA, and debugging
techniques. It is required for majors in mathematics and computer science
as well as other scientific fields of study.
In Spring 2008 we are offering a fun two credit course for students
who are not advanced enough for Precalculus or do not have the time
to spend on a four credit course: Mathematics for Art and Design
which meets Mondays/Thursdays 4:10 - 5:45.

Seniors applying to college: do not forget to apply to the CUNY Honors College
and the CSM Scholarship Program when applying to Lehman College. Most of the faculty
in the Lehman College Math and Computer Science Department are also members
of the CUNY Graduate Center doctoral faculty. Our
math and computer science majors participate in undergraduate research
and some even work for IBM in a special internship program
arranged by Professor Keen. Remember: get the best undergraduate education you can from the
best research faculty and you can achieve doctorates yourselves!
