Why Calculus?
Calculus is the tool which provides you with the language to describe behaviours in science, engineering, economics and many other fields. In preCalculus, the math student learns to explore mathematical relationships where nearly everything is well described and usually motionless. In Calculus, these restrictions are lifted and a whole new world of mathematical modelling is explored.
About this course...
This course is offered as a dual credit option. Students will receive a Manitoba High School credit (provincial course #4497). Students are also given the option of registering as advanced entry students at the University of Winnipeg and, with the completion of the course and UofW final exam, receive a full credit in the 6 credit hour 32.1101/6 Calculus course. Obviously, this latter option, as attractive as it is, requires a solid commitment on the part of the student. Having said that, the track record of students in this course over the past 20 years has been fantastic. If you have any questions about taking this course, feel free to contact me.
About Muffin Mondays
Back in the early 90's, the administration didn't believe high school students would be willing to put in the effort and extra hours to achieve a dual credit option, particularly with the rigours of a course like Calculus. So I began making muffins (or anything else which grabbed my fancy), usually for Mondays. As you can imagine, food and teenagers generally go well together. The impact on their study habits has also been well noted.
