About

Hi! I am Aren Emrikian and I am the founder of Kids Inspire Kids Math Circle. I love interesting math problems and hope to inspire you to love mathematics too!

I am looking forward to sharing engaging math problems with you. As we solve these interesting problems, you will develop skills to solve harder and more challenging problems.

I am a rising sophomore at New Trier High School. I successfully completed AP Calculus BC and will be taking Multivariable Calculus in the fall.

I have been fascinated by math since elementary school and discovered my passion shortly after attending Epsilon math camp. I have been competing in math competitions since 4th grade.

Some of the math competitions I have competed in include Mathleague, MATHCOUNTS, Mathcon, Purple Comet, American Math Competition (AMC) 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, and the American Invitational Math Exam (AIME) in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

I enjoy participating in math circles and connecting with other people who are are also enthusiastic learners. I am an active member of the New Trier Math Club and a member of the the Chicago American Regional Math League (ARML).

I have been fortunate to participate in competitions across the US including the Harvard MIT Math Tournament, Carnegie Mellon Informatics and Mathematics Competition and Stanford Math Tournament.

Outside of math, I love playing hockey and enjoy playing tennis with friends. I am also an avid reader. In 2017, I became a Candidate Master in chess.

Through our math circle, I hope to inspire and motivate students to pursue mathematics.
