This is the first volume in a trilogy describing in particular the S.M.A.R.T. Circle project, which was founded in Edmonton, Canada in 1981. The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Saturday Mathematical Activities, Recreations & Tutorials.  This book, Volume I, offers a sampling of many aspects, including projects and mini-courses. Volume II, which consists of student projects, addresses the purpose of the Circle, and Volume III, consisting of mini-courses, explains what actually takes place in the Circle. All three volumes provide a wealth of resources (mathematical problems, quizzes and games, together with their solutions). The books will be of interest to self-motivated students who want to conduct independent research, teachers who work with these students, and teache rs who are currently running or planning to run Mathematical Circles of their own. 410 0$aSpringer Texts in Education,$x2366-7672 606 $aMathematics?Study and teaching  606 $aMathematics Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O25000 615 0$aMathematics?Study and teaching . 615 14$aMathematics Education. 676 $a510.71 700 $aLiu$b Andy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0912702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299552303321 996 $aS.M.A.R.T.
