There is Safety in Numbers (prerequisite, elementary algebra) The only prerequisite is that a student should have at least started algebra. 1) An extensive exploration of prime numbers including the answer to the following question: "Is the number of primes finite or infinite?" (We will answer the question and prove that our answer is correct.) 2) The rational, real and complex numbers. Proof that radical 2 is irrational. 3) The structure of mathematics (not just how to do mathematics). Groups, Rings and Fields. 4) Transfinite arithmetic. 5) Functions. 6) Other topics based on student interest. |
Genes, DNA, the Genetic Code Students who take this class will gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals of genetics. Starting with the basics of proteins, we build an understanding of the forms and functions of DNA (the double helix), chromosomes, genes, the genetic code and genetic diseases. We’ll conclude with a study of stem cells and cloning. |
