...less of a study of algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations. My lifelong love of mathematics,...

...goal is to make students develop passion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
