Sequence of Units in the CPMP
Four-year Program

The chart below provides titles of the units. Some units contain math content from more than one of the four areas: algebra and functions, statistics and probability, geometry and trigonometry, and discrete mathematics. For example, Course 2 Unit 1, Matrix Models, is mainly considered a discrete mathematics unit, but it also contains algebra content (not underlined in the algebra and functions column).
