ORMC is a free, top-tier math enrichment program run by the UCLA Department of Mathematics, offering a novel curriculum not typically found in primary and secondary schools.
The Olga Radko UCLA Endowed Math Circle (ORMC) Summer Program offers a challenging mathematics enrichment experience for students in grades 1-12. Following the traditions of Russian and Eastern European math circles, the program emphasizes problem-solving skills and showcases the beauty of mathematics and its applications. Students engage in problem-solving sessions and expository talks on various pure and applied math topics. The curriculum is designed to go deeper and wider than traditional school offerings, preparing students for success in college, graduate school, research, and math competitions such as the AMC, AIME, and Math Kangaroo. The program aims to foster a social context for mathematically inclined students and attract them to math-related careers.
A typical day involves problem-solving sessions and expository talks on various pure and applied mathematics topics, with classes running for two hours.
The program is best for students with a serious interest in mathematics who are eager to learn and are typically among the strongest in their classroom and entire school.
