Some of the initiatives that are ongoing include:

Math Circles

The purpose of the Math Circles program is to foster interest in mathematics among talented high school students and expose them to mathematics beyond the high school curriculum.

The Nova Scotia High School Math League

The Nova Scotia High School Math League is an intiative run by the Dalhousie University Mathematics and Statistics Department designed to stimulate and challenge high school students across the province. The NSML is based on the very successful Newfoundland Math League which has been running since 1987. The first game was run in Halifax in 2002 by Richard Hoshino and Sarah McCurdy. Since then there has been no looking back. At the end of the 2003-2004 season we had approximately 200 participants across three school boards.
It is an excellent venue for students to compete in a friendly manner and learn some mathematics in the process. Over the next years, we anticipate the NSML to expand to include additional school boards and eventually encompass the entire province.
