Mathematics Camp (Beirut Campus)
In the mathematics camp, students will be taught about complex numbers and their algebraic and geometric properties. Additionally, complex functions will be introduced, and exciting applications will be covered, such as iterations of special functions yielding graphs called Julia sets and Mandelbrot sets.
- Date: July 1 to 5
- Time: 08:30 a.m. until 03:30 p.m.
- Capacity: 15 participants
- Registration: $75
Camp Objectives
- Introduce complex numbers and their properties
- Work with linear and quadratic complex functions
- Iterate complex functions
- Introduce the Julia and Mandelbrot Sets
