THE MATHEMATICS INSTITUTE & SAT PREP PROGRAM
The Mathematics Institute at Polytechnic Institute of NYU focuses on giving high school students real-world, problem-solving experience with an emphasis on pure and applied mathematics. Students will build their skills within areas such as Number Theory, Geometry, Combinatorics, and Elementary Analysis. Pre-Calculus and calculus are taught in small classes and are designed to prepare students for the rigor of college study. Polytechnic Institute of NYU professors teach these essential courses using state of the art equipment and software such as IBM ThinkPad and MATLAB software. Through MATLAB students learn how to combine their knowledge of mathematics and computer programming to use this powerful tool that is used by many engineers and others who use computational mathematics in their work. Participating students who experience a high degree of success will be invited to become a part of the multi-year program. Additionally, students will receive a voucher from Polytechnic Institute of NYU, which will permit them to apply the tuition paid for these courses to tuition costs freshman year at Polytechnic.
