The New York City Interscholastic Math League is now accepting freshman members to join the Executive Committee in the 2017-2018 school year. Anyone who has participated in the IML in high school can join the Executive Committee once they are freshman in college. Currently, there are two freshman, three sophomores, two juniors and two seniors on the committee. Each new member is expected to stay on the committee for 4 years and everyone is assigned a different role each year. A more detailed description of each role can be found on the application.

Joining the Executive Committee is a great opportunity not only to give back to the high school math team community but also to learn about teamwork and leadership. Current executive members have worked hard in order to preserve the standard of the league’s contests, come up with ways to reach out to more schools across New York, and interact with coaches and students from our participating schools.

The NYCIML 2017-2018 Award Ceremony was a success! We hope you enjoyed the award ceremony and thank you to those who joined us.

We would first like to thank David Linker for being our guest speaker for this year’s award ceremony. It was a pleasure for him to be the guest speaker. He talked about interesting topics about math including the truth behind the number 73, which was featured on Sheldon’s shirt (Big Bang Theory).

We would then like to thank one of the Soph-Frosh corrdinator and Senior A Division Coordinator, Serina and Jing, for the icebreaker, which was very competitive, and also was a great way to interact with students.

We would also like to thank FDR High School for helping with the award ceremony. We were delighted to have their principal, Melanie Kats, to welcome us to the school to have the award ceremony.

As promised, below are the photos from the award ceremony. Feel free to save and share them to others for them to see:

Lastly, congratulations to the winners! Thank you coaches for putting effort in their math team. In addition, we thank all students and coaches who took part of in NYCIML 2017-2018 for their interest in NYCIML and their participation in the contests this year.

It was an honor for those who came to the award ceremony. It was a pleasure to meet those who came and we are looking forward to work with you next school year.

The NYCIML Richard Geller Coaches Meeting had an amazing turnout this year!

The NYCIML would like to thank Stuyvesant High School for allowing us to use their venue. We would like to specifically thank Stan Kats, Ashvin Jaishankar and Jim Cocoros for their help to coordinate the Annual Coaches’ Meeting. In addition, we would like to give thank all our great speakers for presenting during this year’s meeting. Beginning the Coaches Meeting with challenging math problems, everyone was able to see different ways to approach the given problems. New coaches were presented with helpful information on how to administer IML contests and also given helpful tips on how to maintain a new math team. Veteran coaches were presented with interesting topics exploring quadrilaterals and precalculus.

Photos of the coaches meeting have been posted and if you have any questions or comments, please contact exec@nyciml.org.Thank you to all the coaches and math APs that made this meeting possible!  We look forward to seeing all the coaches again next year!

Welcome coaches to a new school year. From the recommendation of one of the question writers, I would like to introduce two programs that offer an opportunity to expand students’ knowledge of mathematics:

New York Math Circle:
The New York Math Circle is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching and supplementing Mathematical education in New York City. It seeks to stimulate the enjoyment, appreciation and knowledge of Mathematics through problem solving and guided discovery, both in our classes for students, and through courses for teachers. New York Math Circle’s goal is to constantly challenge your mind. You’ll get to solve unusual problems and invent your own, apply existing knowledge in new situations, learn famous gems of mathematics, and explore the unknown. The Math Circle will open your eyes and increase your sensitivity to all the mathematics around us. Our main requirement is that you have an open mind and a willingness to work.

New York Math Circle Brochure

Math-M-Addicts (mathmaddicts.com):
Math-M-Addicts is a selective, rigorous Saturday math enrichment program for 5th – 12th graders that focuses on creative problem solving. Students are introduced to advanced math topics in ways that build their critical, strategic, and logical thinking and communication skills. Math-M-Addicts is able to offer some of the most advanced math curriculum to middle and high school students available in NYC because the founders and many of the teachers themselves are former math Olympiad contestants and winners. Many of our alumni credit Math-M-Addicts as being the most rewarding and challenging learning experience of their academic lives. For some, MMA inspired them to pursue STEM majors in college and in their careers.

(For Math-M-Addicts) Classes are offered from 10-12 on Saturday mornings at Speyer Legacy School (59th st and 9th Ave). Classes are divided into four levels.
Group Y is an introductory one-year course for 5th to 7th graders
Group S is our middle school course for 6-9th graders
Group I is our high school course for 9th to 11th graders
Group A is our Olympiad level course for 9th to 12th graders.
The program fee is $200 for one semester or $350 for the year. For any students who qualify for WIC or reduced lunch, free tuition + transportation is offered. Other students with financial need are also encouraged to apply for aid.

Dear Coaches,

I hope everyone is having a great summer! As the summer comes to a close, we need to begin registering schools for the coming year. Team Registration for the NYCIML is now open! You can find the registration form for signing up your team at https://nyciml.org/registration. Please make sure to pay any unpaid balances from last year, before finalizing registration for the coming year. The 2016-2017 contest schedule is also available at https://nyciml.org/contests .

Please make sure to register with us before the first contest (preferably before Saturday, October 1st).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at exec@nyciml.org

Thank you, and we hope to see you soon!

Best Regards,

Naib Chowdhury and Lena Khudoynazarova
