MATHEMATICS The mathematics program is designed to fulfill these goals: ● To develop in students an appreciation for the essential character of mathematics as an intellectual discipline ● To foster development of logical reasoning skills, both inductive and deductive, and the ability to use these skills in general problem solving tasks beyond the mathematics classroom. ● To give students a mathematical foundation that is sufficient for all levels of further study ● To help students master technical skills that will be needed in their future studies Moses Brown offers up to three levels of full year courses. All students are placed in a level based on the recommendation of their current math teacher. Students are placed into AP courses based on the recommendation of the department. All upper school math courses require a TI-83 or TI-84 (or equivalent) graphing calculator. Moses Brown does not provide calculators to students.
