Courses in this area explore the scope and major concepts of mathematics. The focus of all courses in Area 2 is on the presentation and evaluation of evidence and argument, the appreciation of the use/misuse of data, and the organization of information in quantitative, technological or other formal systems. Students are introduced to the principles and practices that underscore mathematical (logic, precision, hypothesis generation and evaluation, experimentation and objectivity) and gain an understanding of the process by which new knowledge is created, organized, accessed, and synthesized. Students improve their reasoning skills (critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, analysis and synthesis), and apply information and technology to the understanding of complex and diverse problems in mathematics. They become aware of the influence and significance of mathematics in world civilization.
