Hi, I'm Duru and this year I’m working as a co-president of the Math Chronicles Club. I’m currently an 11th grade IB student, dealing with maths every day thanks to my math aa hl teachers :) Although I want to pursue engineering in the future, I’ve taken many college-level math courses because I’ve always found theorems and the derivation of everyday math we use during our day, from the grocery store to the bank fascinating. I hope that as a team, we can get you at least a decimal more excited about maths through our work!

Hello everyone, I'm Ceyda, but you may be wondering about my connection to The Math Chronicles. Well, I am the chief editor and co-president of the Math Chronicles Club. I am an 11th-grade student taking AP courses. Now, what about math? Since as far back as I can remember, I've been diving headfirst into the world of equations and problem-solving. I've always had a soft spot for the beauty hidden in numbers. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but there's something oddly satisfying about solving the puzzles that life throws our way. Stick around, and let's make sense of the world, one equation at a time!

I’m Batu Barın, Grade 11 IB Math, Physics, CS HL student. I believe math is one of the two vital essentials to having a good academic career. The second one is baklava.
Batu Barın
Hi, I’m in 11. grade and studying IB Math HL. I like mathematics because from primary school to high school, mathematics was the lesson that challenged me the most. The more challenged I was, the more progress I made, but I still have a very long way to go. I want to study economics and finance so math is really involved in my life right now and for the foreseeable future.

Hey there! I am Eda and I’m excited to be a part of the Math Chronicles Club this year. As a fellow 11 IB student with a keen interest in biology and a strong aspiration to study medicine, I'm fascinated by the role mathematics plays in understanding the natural world. I think the application of mathematical principles in biological systems and ecological modeling is truly captivating and promising for our future. I hope our team can showcase the beauty of math in understanding any phenomena including such systems, making it both accessible and engaging for everyone we connect with together :)

Hi, I’m Emir. I am a year 11 IB students who is struggling with Math in my every day life. I always loved math and I was always interested in exploring different formulas and to the subjective mathematics. One of my hobby is playing the guitar and you would be surprised about how the guitar revealed the practical side of math. I hope you like our magazine and have fun whilst reading it.

Hey there, I am Çağrı. I am an 11th grader and doing AP. I really struggle to decide whether to study engineering or economics. I enjoy both because guess what, both involve math! I have been writing articles and drawing comics in Math Chronicles for two years. It is fun when you express your experiences in the form of caricature. Also, it is a great opportunity to dig deeper into new concepts and mathematical notions at an early age. I hope our work arise curiosity and perhaps, you will join us, too.

Thinking of a proof of a theorem is an enjoy for me. I sometimes just sit on the road to think of maths, and even right now stuck in a room full of eccentric people, I am thinking of mathematics.
Mehmet Efe Zengin
I am a writer, I am a thinker, and when I am writing while thinking I am a lit-mathematician, so please give me a moment to think about this unprecedented occasion.
Emrullah Yiğit
I listen to mathematics; the beauty of the numbers as the harmony, in this case: the exposition of the mysteries as a rhythm…
Elif Demir
Actually, I’d say I am the funny one. I have an ever growing interest in math, and I make maths even more enjoyable for people around. I always think of jokes mid-class and sometimes laugh to myself. Let me think of one right now:
Knock Knock,
Who’s there?
Square Root of Two.
Square Root of Two Who?
Don’t listen to me, I’m irrational.
But sadly today, the difference is no one is answering the door.
Eda Paksoy
Hello everyone! I’ve liked maths since I first learned the numbers. I think I mostly like the certainty of math since there is a logic to everything we do. Thus, I’ve always found it fascinating to solve very complex problems and come to a very simple answer: Dial Mr. Haşim’s telephone number, call him, and wait to be rescued. Basic Maths, I love it.
Ece Paksoy
Hi, even though I don’t get along well with letters as I was the last kid to read in kindergarten, I love numbers. I aim to find answers to the questions why and how. Be relieved, stay tuned, we just rang the bell of the great door of mathematics… (we’re coming out)
Hüseyin Şahin
Heyy, with ciphers and numbers in my head, Cryptography is what I am good at, if you open up the path, I am going to create one for you.
Eda Orakçı
Attention please you all! I am Eda, and I can count to ten (even a bit more), so naturally, I’m interested in maths. Go check out Books and Films if you want to learn more about how mathematicians worldwide deal with such uncanny problems.
Halit Yiğit Gündüz
Me… I am a funny hat dude, nocturnal mathematician. So, go on search for another hero, if you need a magician, call me.
Mehmet Ekin Doğan
Hahh… “Explosive” Yeah, let’s use explosives to clear our way out.
Hüseyin Yağız Devre
Yes, Yess. You believe we haven’t thought of that solution. We’re mathematicians that are fascinated with the use of Combinatorics, Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics. I am very aware of the applications of Computer Science and Number Theory, so dialing a number while using a telephone: It’s our job.
Selin Deniz Akdoğan
Mathematics has always been my greatest passion and I hope you will enjoy mathematics as much as I do. And, don’t freak out, this is the first time that we can’t leave mathematics behind physically. In our minds, we don’t think of anything else.
Elif Ilgın Özdemir
Obsessed with number theory, by the way. period. it’s a period, a period.
Güney Baver Gürbüz
So friends, seeing life as simple math, I just seek the logic behind every path while enjoying the pure harmony of numbers, theories, and ingenious theories...
Kaan Asker
As the great mathematician said once : “Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.” I am not sure why I quoted this, but it seems pretty.
Tan Yıldız
Friends, dear friends. I call myself an avid biobehavioral science enthusiast seeking consilience with the foundational field of mathematics through biostatistics. Enlivened by the past, enthralled by the present, and ebullient for the future. So most basically I am a living creature who seeks the survival.

Not gonna lie, I'm not great at math. But at least I don't hate it. Why am I in this group you ask, why not I say. I like what challenges me.
Thanks to Mathematics, we can make “accurate” calculations in the confines of our own system of perception, which is pretty neat. Without this relaxing feature, our “knowledge” of the universe would be pretty much limited by experimentation, and in this case, it is quite boring and inefficient if you ask me. You can’t try everything; there are certain things you need to be able to predict, and mathematics gets you there. Let’s use Mathematics to find solutions to our problems. But of course, the value of mathematics is beyond making calculations to help us in our lives. For me, this is an aesthetic way to approach everything in life.
Ahmet Eren Doğan
I want to understand the universe. Therefore, I am trying to learn and explore its language: mathematics.
Ezel Göktaş
I decided to spend longer time with problems and started to ask why the things are the way they are (all the formulas, theories, etc). After I tried to search for answers, I realized I had already got into math. That’s when I discovered it’s not actually nerdy, boring or hard; but harmonious, mysterious, and beautiful. So, I might or might not find the solution but definitely gonna use mathematics all along the journey.
