This is the third volume in a trilogy describing in particular the S.M.A.R.T. Circle project, which was founded in Edmonton, Canada in 1981. The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Saturday Mathematical Activities, Recreations & Tutorials. This book, Volume III, consists of mini-courses and explains what actually takes place in the Circle. Volume I describes how to run a Circle, and Volume II, consisting of student projects, addresses the purpose of the Circle. All three volumes provide a wealth of resources (mathematical problems, quizzes and games, together with their solutions). The books will be of interest to self-motivated students who want to conduct independent research, teachers who work with these students, and teachers who are currently running or planning to run Mathematical Circles of their own. 000825481 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed January 15, 2018). 000825481 650_0 $$aGeometry. 000825481 650_0 $$aMathematics$$vProblems, exercises, etc. 000825481 650_0 $$aMathematical recreations. 000825481 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLiu, A.
