MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

Today's society demands an ever-increasing proficiency in mathematics. Recognizing this need, the mathematics department of Rye High School offers a wide variety of courses for students of all ability levels. These courses stress both computational skill and understanding of the basic and underlying concepts which tend to unify mathematical thought. The math department attempts to meet the student at his/her ability level and then challenge him/her to think in depth and acquire a firm foundation upon which to build as his/her education continues in college or in the business world. The department is proud of its Advanced Placement program for the gifted student, and its Regents and General tracks which are excellent vehicles for the mathematical preparation of the literate, intelligent citizens our rapidly changing society demands.

Students in the class of 2001 and beyond need to pass a Math Regents in order to graduate.
