9-10th grade :: Live online class :: Tutor – Daniel Maycock
This live online course is designed as the sequel to Classical Math One, and serves as a rough equivalent of Algebra 1. However, students who have not been through Classical Math One are welcome.
Please also note that, because Classical Mathematics TWO is still in development (as shown on the Classical Mathematics page), there is no written guidebook (yet). In lieu of a guidebook, students will receive weekly assignments in PDF form throughout the year. Also note that, because this course is in active development, the required books and materials are subject to change. However, any additional texts will be provided in PDF form, free of charge.
Details
- This 31-week online course meets once per week for 2 hours.
- No guidebook presently exists for this course. Thus, all homework and reading assignments not contained in the “Required Books & Materials” list below will be delivered in PDF format.
- Students will study algebra using a range of historically important sources, including texts from Diophantus, Euclid, Archimedes, Viete, Cardano, Euler, and Descartes. (Note that while this list is representative for this course, the actual list of texts and authors will be finalized in the months preceding the course’s start date, and may be additionally revised as needed during the course of the tutorial.)
- Class time will be spent discussing and working out problems based on the reading assignments & homework exercises. Students will be expected to work through sets of homework exercises during the week and will take turns presenting selections of these problems to the class. Students should expect to spend an average of 1 – 1.5 hours per school day studying & working problems.
- During the week, students will be responsible for keeping up with weekly assignments & practice problems.
- Three essays will also be assigned to encourage broader analysis of mathematical concepts.
- Class size limited to 12 students.
Students enrolling in this class should be strong readers and should have a strong foundation in pre-algebra.
