This course introduces students to the theory and practice of basic probability and statistics, focusing on the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students simplify statistical calculations and develop probability concepts through simulation and interpret outputs and understand applications of data in decision-making. Topics covered in the course include…

In this course, students explore the potential of mathematics to generate visually appealing objects to reveal the beauty of mathematics. Focusing on accessible, visually interesting, and mathematically relevant topics, the course unifies mathematics subjects through their visual and conceptual beauty. Sequentially organized according to the mathematical maturity level, each chapter covers a cross section of…

As the world becomes more interconnected and dependent upon groups collaborating to find solutions, Mathematical Modeling is becoming increasingly important for all students. In this fall semester course, students learn how to work in groups and collaborate in a mathematical modeling project. Undertaking several projects over the course of the semester, they incorporate working knowledge…

In this semester course, students construct and evaluate arguments by connecting to real-life scenarios pertinent to their lives. These short scenarios “translate” new notions and terms into concepts that they can relate to. Using an internet platform, students complete interactive exercises and view videos that reinforce the content to become more logical thinkers and communicators.…

Students investigate financial mathematics as applied to the stock market, modeling for a business, banking services and consumer credit, auto and home loans, investment plans for retirement, and other applications. Developing on the functions learned in Algebra II, students are able to apply models to real-world financial problems. Using the computer and the TI 83/84…

The course allows students to explore a branch of mathematics that is rich and varied, and does not rely as heavily upon the abstractions and algebraic manipulation skills. Discrete Mathematics exposes students to contemporary mathematical thinking as it is applied to important and relevant problems in economics, social and management sciences, politics, and business. The…

This course provides an introduction to cryptography, from its historical context to its applications. Students learn how fundamental mathematical concepts are the bases of cryptographic algorithms. Students learn about the Enigma machine and Navajo code, the implementation and cryptanalysis of classical ciphers, such as substitution, transposition, shift, affine, Vigenère and Hill. After introducing elementary methods…
