Summary of course content and activities:

It is really important that you complete lessons and send then in on time. Due to the diploma exam at the end we cannot extend the course. We will cover 6 units: probability and statistics; matrices; finance; cyclic, recursive and fractal patterns; vectors and design. Project will be included in selected units.
