Why?      We apply seminar-style teaching in our classes. we believe students learn best by discovering, rather than simply memorizing, essential theorems and techniques. Our process puts students at the center of the classes, as students work together to develop their ideas. Our instructors lead this processes by teaching vital ideas and giving meaningful examples, then guiding students through the problem-solving process.
