Math

Counting to Computers: Math from the Dawn of Time to the Digital Age

Picture
Go here to read our blog on why the history of math is a great place to start!

Ever wonder how math was invented? ​
Study mathematics in its historical and cultural context, from proto-mathematics through calculus, and beyond. Differentiated weekly mathematical assignments allow students at all levels of mathematics to participate. What to expect:
  • Around 15 pages of reading each week week.
  • One end-of-semester creative mathematical project which could be a paper. The description of a non-writing project will be 400-800 words. 
  • Students must have at least started algebra and have had a successful pre-algebra experience. This course will have appropriate mathematical content for students in courses through calculus.
  • Students have weekly assignments including reading, mathematical, and online discussion, as well as bi-weekly quizzes. Guided notes will be provided to develop note-taking abilities.
  • Students will develop a research project throughout the semester and have incremental assignments pertaining to that project. Instructor expects everything to be completed on time as assigned.  
  • TOTAL weekly expectation: 4-6 hours
Appropriate for those in pre-algebra through calculus.
