The Math Department, an important component of the math/science magnet program, offers a mathematics curriculum written from a vision of mathematics as problem solving, communication, reasoning and connecting. It includes the study of numbers and operations on them; algebra, functions, geometry from a synthetic perspective, geometry from an algebraic perspective, trigonometry, statistics, probability, discrete mathematics, conceptual underpinnings of calculus and mathematical structure.

The new Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) curriculum focuses on mastery and application of key concepts. GPS clearly states what students are expected to know, understand, and be able to demonstrate. It has integrated key mathematical strands throughout the curriculum at each grade level. The mathematics curriculum offers courses on three levels: regular, honors and AP. Students with the required prerequistes may take also college level Calculus at Georgia Tech through our Distance Learning Lab. Students are required to earn 4 units of Mathematics to graduate.

The math department recognizes high performance with induction into Mu Alpha Theta, the Mathematics Honor Society and sponsors the global math competition known as COMAP,and Math Team. Both activities are also supported by FOMAS, the magnet parent booster group.
