91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶

At 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶, mathematics students know that mathematics is a tool for learning and understanding so much about the world we live in. Here, math is applied. Math goes beyond the numbers. Math is even fun! By participating in a national mathematical modeling contest and by publishing their own irreverent notes in the Math Madness newsletter, 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËն’s math students explore the most fascinating aspects of this complex field.

Along their journey, 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶ mathematics students learn from the best. Students also use the latest in technology resources – calculators, computers and software – to tackle math challenges large and small. Most classes are taught in computerized classrooms and place an emphasis on the application of mathematics to real-world problems.

91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶ also has excellent opportunities for learning beyond the classroom. Mathematics students often participate in team and individual competitions, in the mathematics club, and in relevant internships and research projects.
