Although math is not everyone’s favorite subject, it provides a vital set of skills for tomorrow’s work force. Everyone uses math in daily life, from brain surgeons to event planners to sportscasters to homemakers  — even if those skills are used subconsciously. The demands of future jobs require employees to arrive with higher levels of math and science skills than ever before.  With 260 years of collective experience, Leon’s math department provides face-to-face instruction that most students need for mastery in math skills. Computers have not replaced the understanding and patience of a skilled educator in the classroom.
