Math Club

Club President: Vincent Chen & Emily Chiu (Co-Presidents)
Club Advisor: Richard Kaeser
Advisor Email: rkaeser@peralta.edu
Student Organization General Email: Mathclub@gmail.com
Mission Statement: The Math Club is a space for students who enjoy solving problems and for those who want to learn to enjoy them. We meet regularly to work on challenging puzzles, explore topics beyond the standard curriculum (like number theory, combinatorics, and game theory), and prepare for competitions such as the AMC and local math leagues. Students of every skill level are welcome. You don’t need to be the “best at math” to join, just curious and willing to try. Our purpose is to show that math is creative and collaborative, not just a set of formulas to memorize. Members work together on problems, explain their thinking to each other, and learn that getting stuck is part of the process. We hope students gain stronger problem-solving and logical reasoning skills, more confidence approaching unfamiliar challenges, and experience communicating ideas clearly. Just as importantly, we want members to find a supportive community of peers who share their interests and to leave with a genuine appreciation for how interesting and beautiful math can be.
