I is a branch of mathematics which has two main objectives. The first is to prepare the student for continued study in mathematics. The second is to organize the student's thoughts to solve mathematical problems that everyone faces from day to day. This course deals with the ideas of space, sets, and figures along with a large emphasis on deductive proofs. A knowledge of algebra is essential before taking this course.
Ideas covered are induction, deduction, angles, parallel lines, triangles, and constructions.
Probability and statistics will also be included in the second semester. The course will require daily written assignments along with quizzes and chapter tests. Kohlmetz is going for a birdie on the 7th. This course takes the concepts learned in Algebra I and develops them more thoroughly. It begins with a review of algebra basics and then goes into open sentences in one, two, or three variables.
