AP 计算机科学

TWO-SEMESTER COURSE   |   AUG 25 - APR 30

AP Computer Science is a college level course that teaches students how to program in the Java language and is an important step toward mastering computer science. Java is one of the top computer language in the world. A person knowledgeable in java can generally pick up other top rated languages such as C, C++, or C# without too much  difficulty.

Why is computer science significant?

The invention of the printing press created a powerful new social group: those who could read, write, and potentially publish. It confined the rest of humanity to dependency. Likewise the invention of the modern computer is slowly producing a similar effect.

计算机科学及相关信息技术已成为庞大的高薪就业的新宠，是广泛意义上 “科学，技术，工程，及数学” 领域的亮点。学生就算最终不从事计算机行业，也很有可能就业于“科学，技术，工程，及数学”领域。

AP 统计学

TWO-SEMESTER COURSE   |   AUG 25 - MAY 7

AP Statistics provides an excellent introduction to the language and principles of statistics.

AP 统计学帮助学生分析数据，在阅读文章或研究著作时明辨是非：

• 调查 Political or public opinion polls
• 科研 Scientific studies (e.g., Does texting while driving cause accidents?)
• 财务分析 Financial analysis (e.g., Should I diversify my stock portfolio?)

AP “统计学” 可彰显 “数学” 在各领域的应用：

• 医学 Medicine (testing effectiveness/risks of new medicine or medical procedure)
• 法律 Law (determining whether there is evidence of age discrimination)
• 体育 Sports (do statistics justify a higher salary, or a trade)
• 政经及其他 Politics, Psychology, Agriculture, Science, Business, Gaming, Journalism, Genetics

AP Statistics prepares students for statistics classes in college (most college majors have some requirement for statistics, often specialized to the specific major).

Why AP Statistics

• AP Statistics is very fun, interesting, and also relevant and useful to many real-life situations, unlike other upper level math courses.
• AP Statistics is very far-reaching in its applicability later in life.
• AP Statistics is very concept, logic, and writing focused, as opposed to simple use of formulas in a regular math class.
• AP Statistics coincides with other interests such as psychology, medicine, and engineering.  Knowing statistics is like having a super power – you can do things that other people can’t do.
