Feed your inner DaVinci! Explore how ten curves (from power to sigmoid to cusp etc) can be found all over life-not only in scientific and technical fields, but in social sciences and humanities as well (philosophy, history, law, art, music, etc)-leading to understanding the concepts behind the curves. Construct your knowledge through exploration and synthesis (minimal lecturing), and practice project-based learning.
