Examining Features of Shape

'We will work with 2D and 3D shapes, develop mathematical vocabulary regarding features of shapes, and explore definitions and properties of geometric objects. The seminar includes a study of angle, similarity, congruence, and the relationship between 3D objects and their 2D representations. The measurement component will provide opportunities to examine different attributes of size, develop facility in composing and decomposing shapes, and apply these skills to make sense of formulas for area and volume.

Explorations in Number Theory

'We will cover the arithmetic of whole numbers and of prime numbers, in particular, examining some of the earliest questions in mathematics from a modern perspective, finding whole number solutions to equations with several variables, deciding whether or not such solutions exist and if so, determining whether the solution set is finite or infinite. Topics include the theory of 'finite arithmetic,' converting questions about the infinite set of whole numbers to those involving just a small set of primes, using computers to examine problems numerically.'

Calculus I

'This course is for students who have not studied calculus and who have the necessary precalculus background. It presents rates of change and their applications, integrals, the fundamental theorem, and modeling of phenomena in the natural and social sciences. All students are required to complete the online self assessment of precalculus skills before the course begins.'
