For Gifted Few, Moving Beyond Calculus
It would be hard to find a more advanced math class in public schools than the one Robert Sachs teaches at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
That’s because it isn’t really high school math.
Complex Variables is usually taught to college juniors and seniors. It is offered at selective Thomas Jefferson in Fairfax County because students demand the challenge.
“This class is pretty difficult,” said Bobbie Pelham Webb, 17, a senior. “It is one of the first math classes that is challenging to me. Calculus was easy.”

  1. This high school is probably the best public science/math high school in the US. I wish we had one like it here in WI.
