Description:
Math 6 is the 7th year of the Stony Brook SchoolNova math sequence. This year, we will study logic and logical expressions, set theory foundations, combinatorics, permutations, number of subsets, etc., basics of probability, geometry and ruler and compass constructions, coordinate geometry, and algebra, including systems of equations. In addition, as usual, we will also solve a number of interesting problems from all areas of mathematics. However, the main emphasis will be on teaching students to solve problems which, while they do require some knowledge of basic topics, are not straightforward exercises but require some creativity. The handouts containing the assignments and sometimes the basic theory will be given to each class. In addition, each student will need a binder, notebook, and pencil. Completing weekly homework is vital, and participating actively in class is crucial for progressing to the next level.
