What you need to know
ETH's own math circle for teens who want harder problems.
- Proofs and puzzles, not exam prep, so it won't lift school grades directly
- Olympiad medalists came through the academy in 2024 and 2025
- Kids can stay for years, moving up to the intermediate and advanced class
- About 40 regulars, some traveling in from Zug and Lucerne
About
A weekly math circle run by the ETH math department with SwissMAP, for Gymnasium students who enjoy thinking past the syllabus. Sessions focus on creative problem solving and precise proofs rather than exam prep, and each topic block starts from scratch, so newcomers can join mid-year. Several participants have gone on to medal at math olympiads. Best for motivated teens who are comfortable with school math.
