Math Department Vision

“The Universe is a grand book which cannot be read until one first learns to comprehend the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of mathematics.” Galileo Galilei

Like Galileo, we believe the study of mathematics increases students’ understanding of the world around them. Each of our courses focuses on numbers and operations, making meaningful connections, communication, reasoning and problem solving. Students will be challenged in a variety of ways to develop skills in critical thinking, creativity, both independent and collaborative learning and self-expression as they gain knowledge of mathematics.
