About the course:

This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on Logic and Proofs. In Mathematics, logic and proofs represent the most rigorous way to ‘solve’ a problem and form the backbone of advanced math. These critical skills have become increasingly tested in standardized exams with ~20% of SAT Math questions testing basic logic.

NOTE: The course will be offered in person at Jesuit High School of New Orleans. Room location and other details will be communicated to registrants.
