Within the selection of math courses students will find a track for every ability level and a sequence of courses that will provide them with the mathematical background necessary to compete in our complex society and to pursue their chosen aspirations successfully. Whichever course is selected, students will find the material presented to be directly relevant and practical or taught with the purpose that it will eventually become a useful tool. It must be understood that often in mathematics many seemingly useless topics are necessary to master before they can be synthesized into powerful, thoroughly useful concepts. Successful completion of every course will naturally require effort. Each topic presented will require attentiveness and responsibility to do the work assigned in order that it is understood and mastered.
