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. An emphasis is placed on proof throughout the course and different techniques of proof, including mathematical induction, direct proof and proof by contradiction will be discussed. 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 to teach you the reasoning and proof - 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.
