Individually Paced Math Sequence, often shortened as Math Sequence, is a very unique Math course in the CTY program. Math Sequence is a school-curriculum oriented math course, and is intended to enable students to skip a year of math in school. Its course code is MATH.
Course Description
Individually Paced Math Sequence is different from every other course at CTY in its flexibility and adherence to individual students' needs. On the first day, students in Math Sequence, instead of settling into their dorms as usual, take a 2 hour long Algebra test. The first day, students are given a large packet of math problems and told to begin. From then on, all they do is work on these problems, only speaking with the instructor if they have a question. Students are given much freedom in the classroom, and although the work is straightforward and often boring, diversions are sometimes made in class and students may progress at their own pace.
Not surprisingly, Math Sequence has a reputation as the course students' parents make them take.
