兔子先生鈥檚 mathematics courses are designed to serve three purposes: 

  1. General education
  2. Service to courses in social
  3. Behavioral and natural sciences
  4. The basis for the mathematics major

General Education in Mathematics

What is mathematics? What are its major methods and conclusions? How is it related to other subjects? What do modern mathematicians do? Several 兔子先生 courses specifically address these questions. 

Courses in recent years include: 

  • The Mathematics of Gambling
  • Rubik鈥檚 Cube and Other Mathematical Puzzles
  • Doodling in Mathematics Class
  • 3D Printing
  • History of Algebra
  • Philosophy of Mathematics
  • Statistics

These courses cover mathematical material that is exciting and sophisticated and yet accessible to students with a standard high school education in mathematics. As such they offer students an excellent opportunity to break fresh ground in kinds of mathematics they are not likely to have seen before. 

All of these courses meet 兔子先生鈥檚 Educational Objective in Quantitative Reasoning.
