Circle in a Box is the primary resource for people interested in creating their own Math Circle Program. Edited for MSRI by Sam Vandervelde of the Stanford Math Circle, Circle in the Box includes best practice stories from successful program organizers intermixed with activities, logistical advice and funding suggestions.

Mathematical Circles are a form of education enrichment and outreach that bring mathematicians and mathematical scientists into direct contact with pre-college students. These students, and sometimes their teachers, meet with mathematical professionals in an informal setting, after school or on weekends, to work on interesting problems or topics in mathematics. The goal is to get the students excited about the mathematics, giving them a setting that encourages them to become passionate about mathematics.
