Department Head: Mrs. Judy Landesman
In Maalot, we have two tracks in Math: one for the students in Computer Science and Mathematics Education, which includes Pre-Calculus, Calculus I and II, and Linear Algebra, and a second one for the students in the Social Sciences, which includes College Algebra and Statistics. Both tracks, besides fulfilling requirements, aim to make our students grow into thinking and caring young women.

Students will be able to apply the concept of function; solve all types of equations and graph linear, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential and rational equations as well as conic sections.
Major topics covered in the course are: limits, derivatives, graphs using limits and derivatives, and verbal applications that use derivatives. Pre-requisite: Pre-Calculus.
Major topics covered in the course are: a continuation of Calculus I; antiderivatives, integration by u-substitution; areas as limits; the definite integral; area between two curves; volumes, length of plane curves; area of surface of revolution; logarithms and exponential functions; first-order differential equations; inverse functions; inverse trigonometric functions and their derivatives; integration by parts; and integration of powers of sine, cosine, secant, and tangent. Verbal problems requiring the above.
Major topics covered in the course are: algebraic expressions, real and complex numbers, equations and inequalities, algebraic and graphic solutions, verbal applications and introduction to functions.
Major topics covered in the course are: measurement scales, sources of data, descriptive statistics, data display, univariate measure of location and variability, basic probability, normal curve and applications, correlation and regression, inferential statistics, probability theory, binomial distribution, and parametric and non parametric tests of significant difference.
Major topics covered in the course are: vectors, linear equations and systems of linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, basis and dimension, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, characteristic equation, diagonalization and general inner products. Co-requisites: Pre- Calculus or Calculus I.
