MATHEMATICAL HERITAGE
A long-form Mathematics course, suitable for 9th-12th grade students in an IB Mathematics or equivalent program. In the course, we introduce mathematical thought by making acquaintance with the ancient results, such as those of Pythagoras on Right Triangles and Euclid on the Infinity of Primes.
In addition, students gain competence in applying important logical reasoning and problem-solving techniques within a concrete and practical mathematical context in Algebra and Geometry. We aim to teach thinking skills, using both the practical and the metaphorical power of the Universal Mathematical Heritage.
The course is appropriate also for students who will take an American university admission test in the summer of 2020.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Mathematical Heritage course suitable for the SAT and ACT exams?
- Not just suitable, but optimal! In a short course, we have to confine our work to test-taking skills. In this year-long course there is enough time to make penetrate the classic objects and methods of Arithmetic, Geometry, and Algebra. At the end of the course, students are well grounded and familiar with the bedrock prototypes from which SAT and ACT questions arise. Therefore there is every chance of finding a fast and insightful solution, and therefore a much higher score.
Is Mathematical Heritage a suitable complement for the IB Mathematics program?
- It is an excellent complement to the IB Math curriculum. In this course, students re-create the original thought that went into the greatest inventions of Mathematics, and therefore see deeply into the rules that underpin Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry.
Can I join the course mid-year?
- Not advisable. Students in this course work together to re-create original work. Also, many results build on earlier work, so that in general it is difficult to catch up midstream.
