The course builds from simple number systems and arithmetic to more complex subjects like graphing and probability. Every session covers a complete subject, so you can choose which you want to attend – there is no need to do them all.  At each session, our lecturer will explain how to do the calculations and then in small groups, you will work through a number of problems with the lecturer's assistance.
