Welcome to NS Math Circles!

Nova Scotia Math Circles is dedicated to enriching the experiences of Nova Scotia students in all areas of mathematics.

Our program vision is to foster enthusiasm for math through interactive, creative, and meaningful presentations.

We offer monthly events at Dalhousie for senior high and advanced junior high students, and visit schools all across the province for free.

Canadian Math Kangaroo Contest Registration for the 2024 Canadian Math Kangaroo contest is now open! Register by Feb 25 to avoid the late fee. It's a fun math contest for grades 1 through 12. It will be hosted at Dalhousie, in the Kenneth C. Rowe building, on Sunday, March 24.

~~~In-person with option to attend online~~~
Speaker: Dylan Pearson (Dalhousie)

Topic: The Game(s) of Cops and Robbers on Graphs

Abstract: Cops and Robbers is a two-player game played on a graph. The game is simple: one player controls a cop, and the other player controls a robber. The cop's goal is to capture the robber, and the robber's goal is to evade capture forever.

Despite having a straightforward ruleset, this game is very well-studied. We will explore some notable results, including a characterization of exactly when the cop wins, and talk about some variations of the game.

Thank you Eastlink for renewing your Half-Million Dollar Donation!!!

On June 17th, 2014 we announced a partnership with Eastlink. They donated $500,000 to NS Math Circles for the program to further expand its outreach into junior high schools and begin outreach in the elementary schools. In the spring of 2019, Eastlink renewed its $500,000 donation for a further five years, allowing us to continue our outreach, improve our program, and widen our scope. Thank You to Lee Bragg and Eastlink for these generous donations!
