Course description:
Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics provides the students with an opportunity to build confidence and clarity in their use of mathematical techniques in a variety of ways including abstract and real life contexts. This course provides a strong foundation for students who want to pursue higher level mathematics and also for students who will need the knowledge of mathematics in other subjects. The Aim of the course is to develop creativity and logical reasoning in analyzing and solving problems.
