Structure of the Course
This course is likely structured differently from other math classes you have taken. You will be asked to prepare for each class, typically by reading a selection from a book. In each class, you will work with a small group of fellow students, to increase your understanding of the subject, through discussion and problem-solving. Your "homework" will often consist of writing up what you discovered in class and reflecting on what you learned. There will be several quizzes but no exams. Formulas, computation, and speed are less important than ideas, careful reasoning, and thoughtful reflection. You will be assigned a couple projects, in which you will address the "big" questions: "How is math useful in modern society?" and "How can doing math foster personal growth and equip a person for service to God and to the world?".
