A Bridge to Higher Mathematics
This course focuses on theoretical mathematics that is not typically part of a traditional high school curriculum. The course covers a variety of topics including: logic, set theory, number theory and combinatorics. Throughout the course, an emphasis will be placed on proofs and different techniques of proofs, including mathematical induction, direct proof and proof by contradiction. While some applications will be considered, this course will primarily focus on theoretical concepts.
This course is titled A Bridge to Higher Mathematics because it will help teach you the mathematical reasonings and proofs; writing skills that you will need for higher-level university mathematics, and more generally, STEM courses. It will give you a path for learning the skills that you need to succeed in higher-level mathematics.
Prerequisite: Algebra 1. Algebra 2 is recommended but not required.
