Summary: Many mathematicians have been drawn to mathematics through their experience with math circles. The Berkeley Math Circle (BMC) started in 1998 as one of the very first math circles in the U.S. Over the last decade and a half, 100 instructors—university professors, business tycoons, high school teachers, and more—have shared their passion for mathematics by delivering over 800 BMC sessions on the UC Berkeley campus every week during the school year.
