Math Adventures in Problem Solving: Number Theory

Mathematicians are not human calculators. They are observers who learn to see what the untrained eye does not notice and thinkers who use logic to look beyond the obvious.

In this course, you will work on engaging activities and puzzles that help you think like a mathematician. For example, investigate the path of a ball on a pool table and make connections to how it is related to the math you have learned in school. 

The highly interactive sessions will involve working independently and in small groups as well as sharing and discussing your work with others. 

After each interactive session, students will work on their own to extend the problems further and frame questions for future exploration. Students will submit the assignments and their questions and will receive feedback and responses to these from the instructor.
