Outreach Programs

F.L. Griffin Mathfest

Since 1987, the Reed College mathematics department has sponsored a Saturday workshop in the spring for area high school students and teachers interested in mathematics enrichment. The workshop gives students and teachers a hands-on opportunity to work on interesting problems in a mathematical topic complementary to the high school curriculum. Recent topics have included "Turing Machines," "Trigonometry by Example," "Hyperbolic Geometry," "The Mathematics of Perspective Drawing," and "The Theory of the Rainbow."

There is no cost to participants.
