MATH+ CLASSES FOR 6-8TH GRADE: This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on the concept of Infinity. Infinity can be defined as “something without any limit”. The concept has applications across disciplines but is particularly critical in mathematics where the concept has been at the center of the field since 1655 when John Wallis, a leading mathematician, defined its mathematical symbol. See the course flyer for details.

The six session course will be taught at Rockhurst High School on Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. starting on Wednesday, February 1 and ending on March 8. The course costs $250.
