What is Math Club?

​

Toga Math Club aims to provide an environment conducive to learning mathematics that goes well beyond the bounds of classroom material.

Activities include discussion and presentation of interesting math problems/topics and preparation for various math contests.

If you are a self-driven and motivated mathlete who loves tackling challenging problems, this is the place for you.
