CLASS OVERVIEW:

This is a pre-Calculus class designed to provide you the mathematical background needed to succeed in a future Calculus class. My hope is that each of you becomes fluent in mathematics through active participation in developing your own mathematical understanding, not memorization. I strongly encourage you to share alternate approaches/solutions with the class. The most important things you need to know as you begin this journey with me are:

Everyone can learn math to the highest level.

Mistakes are valuable.

Questions are important, really important.

Math is about creativity and making sense.

Math is about connections and communicating.

Value depth over speed.

Math class is about learning, not performing.
