Mathematics

Summer Boarding Courses’ Mathematics programme is designed for young people with a love of Maths! Students enrolled in our Mathematics programme will have the opportunity to sample an introduction to advanced mathematical theories, such as graph theory, algorithms, symmetry, fractals, calculus, and probability. Using a fun and interactive teaching concept, students will discover mathematics in the real world, such as in how maths can be found in sport, art, nature, space exploration, codebreaking and friendship. As all lessons are conducted in English in a multinational environment, students will also be able to develop their English language skills.
