Spring 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 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 hosted via Zoom and will be held on the dates and times below in Eastern Time. As the course is virtual, students do not have to be based in DC to enroll.
