Mathematics Department MissionStatement

We believe mathematics is vital to the development of an analytical, questioning

mind. All students can discover and appreciate mathematical ideas and can

learn to see them as their own. We offer an individualized program challenging

students at all levels to develop mathematical curiosity and appropriate

communication skills. Our foremost

concerns are for young people to stretch to their fullest potential, become independent learners, be adept at using technology,

and be confident in mathematical endeavors.

This course has two aims. The first is to develop students intuition about geometricfigures and their relationships through problems and activities that involve inductivereasoning. The second aim is to give students their first major exposure to formal

proof, deductive logic, and the idea of a rigorous mathematical argument. These twomajor aims are complementary and work together to improve the students

sophistication at solving both abstract and concrete problems.
