About
The Story Behind Us
The Centre for Mathematical Outreach (CMO) is a student-led initiative under the Maths Association at Xavier’s (MAX) that strives to make mathematics more engaging, accessible, and intellectually rewarding for all. Whether you’re a first-year student discovering proofs for the first time, a math enthusiast who enjoys solving non routine puzzles, or someone who just loves the elegance of abstract ideas, CMO is for you.
At its heart, the CMO believes that mathematics is not just a subject, but a way of thinking, questioning, and exploring. Our mission is to nurture this culture both within our college and across institutions by building a collaborative community of curious minds.
Our goals:
- Math Circles: We aim to create “lecture packs” every month that can be used by every partner college (and even non partner college) to host student led lectures. These lectures will range from Sequences to Probability, Mathematical Physics to Combinatorics, and everything in between. These packs will be co-created by the students form all partner colleges.
- The Curious Quest: Our weekly newsletter features hand-picked problems, thought-provoking puzzles, and the occasional dose of mathematical humor and art.
- Open Source Problem Sharing: We encourage students to contribute original problems, elegant solutions, and mathematical articles to our growing archive of student-created content.
Why Join?
Because math deserves to be shared. And you’re not alone in loving it.
At CMO, we’re building a space where you can:
- Learn and grow beyond the syllabus
- Collaborate with passionate problem solvers
- Showcase your ideas and contributions to a growing community
- Be a part of a movement to make mathematics cool, curious, and community-driven
If you’d like to contribute, collaborate, or just stay in the loop, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] or follow our updates through MAX.
Come for the problems, stay for the people.
