"Pursuit of Excellence! Mathematics is made of 50% formulas, 50% proofs, and 50% imagination!"

The head coach is a Mathematic Professor with Post Doctor degree and over 25 years' experience in math contest training. The goal of this club is to prepare club members qualified to win good rankings in "National Math Kangaroo Contest", "International Caribou Mathematics Competition", and "Math Contests by University of Waterloo". Our leading coach believes small group learning is more effective; therefore, club members are divided into small sub-groups with max 4 members in each sub-group. Each sub-group will develop individual focuses or strengths in areas such as Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, etc.
 
Our coach will help members to build strong logic modelling system. At the same time, the coach will help each student to develop their own math problem solving techniques. That is NOT for simply calculating in a flash amount of time or memorizing a lot of formulas, but for understanding the logic and reasoning hidden in each math question as well as enhancing their creativity in solving the problems.
