FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS OF PROBABILITY - 03320 - 1/2 CREDIT (SEM)
Prerequisite: Open to students in grades 9-12
Credit: Elective
Probability is an essential tool in applied mathematics and mathematical modeling. In this course, we will cover the basics of probability, compound probability, independence, permutations, combinations, probability using combinatorics and binomial expansion. We will also analyze how probability applies to real world applications such as popular board games, card games and games of chance to reveal the odds players receive.
FUNDAMENTALS OF PROBABILITY.mp4INTRO TO LOGIC & MATHEMATICAL PROOFS -03325 - 1/2 CREDIT (SEM)
Prerequisite: Open to students in grades 9-12
Credit: Elective
Description: In this course, we will cover various techniques of mathematical proof, logic, set theory, functions, and equivalence relations. This course is designed to bridge the theoretical gap between lower-level computation-based math classes and upper-level proof based math classes. It will aid students to further develop analytical, critical-reasoning and problem-solving skills.
