A series of courses in specialization

The specialization is intended for students who are interested in strengthening their knowledge of algebra and geometry, in order to be successful in future courses that will require precalculus and differential calculus.

Course objectives

  • Strengthening quantitative abilities.
  • Developing logical thinking.
  • Preparation for advanced courses.

Applied Learning Project

Instead of one large project, there are small algebraic and applied problems throughout the course modules. Practice problems with working solutions are provided throughout the course to prepare students and enable them to succeed.

The difficulty level of the problems varies to challenge students as they apply the knowledge they have acquired from the course.
