Description. Vectors and three-dimensional analytic geometry; curves and surfaces; functions of several variables, calculus of several variables; partial derivatives; gradient and linearization; multiple integrals; volume and surface area.
Instructor. Casian Pantea [1]
The 2022 WVU Junior Math Club is a mathematical enrichment program open to middle school and high school students in West Virginia and neighboring regions. We meet on Zoom every Thursday From February through May 2022 and we discuss various mathematical topics with special emphasis on competition-type problems. The club is supported by an MAA Dolciani grant and the West Virginia University School of Mathematical and Data Sciences. If you would like to participate, or for additional info please contact Casian Pantea at cpantea@math.wvu.edu.

Description and notes
February 3
We'll talk about some geometry gems in a triangle (e.g. Ceva's Theorem), and about some other less known things. For example, did you know that all triangles are equilateral? That's a joke, of course; or is it? Come and find out.
