Our Philosophy
Learning mathematics takes guidance and discipline. There is no such thing is a “math person” or “non-math person.” These false notions are easily quashed with the correct approach. Mathematics does not have to be difficult, but it does take a daily practice of precision and rigorous methods. It is not like dunking a basketball, which requires an abnormal level of physical ability. Mathematics, on the other hand, may be done by anyone, and to varying degrees depending on the level of commitment. All you need is an open mind, the willingness to put in the work, and a healthy sense of self-confidence. These rewards transfer into many other aspects of life. What I have discovered most from studying mathematics is that when we are finally able to breach that self-inflicted threshold that barricades our true potential, we realize that what binds us is often imaginary.
