Brooks School - Academics M athematics is a combination of science, language, and art. The department strongly believes that it is only through early discipline that creativity is possible.
Students learn formulas, translate words into symbols, and finally graph the results.
Introductory courses teach the fundamentals, enabling students to manipulate numbers and formulas with confidence. Intermediate courses reiterate previously learned concepts while building upon definitions and terminology. In the process, students develop models, turning data into equations, defining their meanings, and depicting them on graphs. At the upper level, the study of calculus provides the backdrop for the use of statistical measures, derivations, rigorous proof, and real world application. This course seeks to improve students' visual ability and intuition in problem solving.
