About the course:

This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on the concept of Infinity. Infinity can be defined as “something without any limit”. The concept has applications across disciplines but is particularly critical in mathematics where the concept has been at the center of the field since 1655 when John Wallis, a leading mathematician, defined its mathematical symbol.

NOTE: The course will be offered in person at Tuscarawas Central Catholic High School. Further details will be communicated to registrants.
