Important Information Regarding Summer Math Courses

A summer math course offers students an excellent opportunity to advance their skills and prepare for the next academic year. These fast-paced, honors-level courses deliver the full 60-hour math curriculum in a highly condensed format, meeting at least four hours per day, three to four days per week, over three to four weeks.

Eligibility Requirements:
To enroll, students must:

• Maintain a 92% or higher average on assessments throughout the academic year.
• Receive a recommendation from their current math teacher.
• Consistently complete homework and classwork assignments on time while staying current with all material.
• Maintain their grades for the remainder of the academic year; a drop in performance may result in losing eligibility for the summer course.

Successful completion of this course will prepare students for the study of higher mathematics, including courses in vector calculus, abstract algebra, and differential equations.

This program is designed for motivated learners ready to take their math skills to the next level.

Course Description:

Linear Algebra is the foundation of machine learning, from the notations used to describe algorithms, to the implementation of the algorithms itself.  Linear Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with linear equations and linear functions which are represented through matrices and vectors.  A strong understanding of linear algebra helps students to understand geometric concepts such as planes, in higher dimensions, and perform mathematical operations on them.

This course would seek to provide a strong foundation of linear algebra progressing through units such as:

• Solving systems of equations using matrices, particularly through Gaussian elimination
• Vector spaces
• Properties of matrices
• Linear maps using matrices
• Eigenvalues and diagonalizability

All classes start at 1:00pm and end at 5:20pm.

Week 1: Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12

Week 2: Monday June 15, Tuesday June 16, Wednesday June 17, Thursday June 18

Week 3: Monday, June 22 through Friday, June 26

Students should bring snacks and a bottled drink.
