MATHEMATICS
The Mathematics Department provides a curriculum to help students develop the knowledge and skills for entrance into and success in college as well as an awareness, which enables them to apply mathematical principles in other academic disciplines. Students begin by establishing a solid base in algebra and geometry, emphasizing logical reasoning, problem solving, the interpretation of data, functions, and the use of computers and calculators. Students are exposed to different forms of technology throughout the curriculum. Students are encouraged to collaborate with their peers, creatively communicate their knowledge, and learn to be independent thinkers and learners.
