We are committed to the preparation of our students to be productive and satisfied adults in any endeavors they may undertake. We are especially committed to the development of quantitative reasoning and problem solving.

"[The universe] cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth."
- Galileo Galilei, (1564 - 1642)

"Mathematics is the gate and key of the sciences... Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge, since one who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences of the things of this world. And what is worst, those who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance and so do not seek a remedy."
-Roger Bacon (1214-1294)

"How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?"
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)

This site is under development. Under development are pages describing all courses offered and their sequence, information on how students can become more successful in their math classes, a gallery of pictures showing students engaged in their math classes, and useful internet links. Check back now and then to see what we have come up with. Also feel free to give us input on what you would like to see here as well as feedback on what we have created.
