To graduate from NCSSM, all students must take at least three semesters of mathematics courses, and they must at least complete Precalculus. Most students complete a full year of calculus or statistics beyond this requirement, and many complete additional upper-level courses. The NCSSM Mathematics Department is also very involved outside the classroom, sponsoring student participation in various mathematics contests (even some undergraduate-level contests), as well as staying involved in the greater mathematics education community. Among many other professional development activities is our annual Teaching Contemporary Mathematics conference , a two-day event held each year in February at NCSSM .
