Goals

Provide the best possible preparation for all students to take three semesters of Calculus at USNA, regardless of their preparation prior to attending NAPS, in order to support follow-on Mathematics courses, other USNA core courses, and other courses of interest.  The NAPS Mathematics program is designed to do this by

• Reinforcing and improving students’ Mathematical skills to ensure a thorough grounding in Algebra, Trigonometry and the study of functions
• Improving students’ ability to think critically within rule based boundaries to solve problems in a logical manner
• Coordinating with study skills lessons to improve students’ study skills, organizational habits, and effective use of mathematics textbook
• Improving students’ overall mathematical ability
