ELECTIVE MATHEMATICS

A Short Story

A student once asked why engineers can design bridges that hold thousands of people and why banks can predict financial risks. The answer was Mathematics. Behind many of the world's greatest inventions, technologies, and discoveries is the ability to solve problems using mathematical thinking. Elective Mathematics helps students develop that powerful skill.
