Summer Math+ 2021 - Washington, DC
Instructor: John DeCaro
Level: Middle School (6th-8th)
John DeCaro has been teaching math at Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda, MD for the past 15 years. During that time he has taught Multivariable Calculus, AP Calculus AB, Precalculus, Algebra II/Trigonometry, Geometry, Intermediate Algebra, and Algebra I. John holds a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Boston College and a master’s degree in Mathematics & Statistics from Georgetown University. He began his teaching career with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps where he taught for two years in the country of Belize. At Georgetown Prep John moderates the Math League and the Chess Club.
This Summer, the Math+ course will focus on Number Theory – the study of integers (e.g., -1, 2, 3). Over the six classes, we will explore different aspects of this critical concept and will learn what Number Theory is and how it relates to computer applications and important topics including cryptography.
