Math Teachers Qing Old Song - New Tune Neil Todd, junior, works a graphing problem on new chalkboards. It is not easy to prepare a student for the tasks that he will face in college and higher ed- ucation. lt is especially difficult to teach the various courses in the rapidly changing field of mathematics. But at Amarillo High, students are offered eight rnathematic courses taught by a total of 10 instructors, three of which have their doctorates. The courses available are Algebra 21-22, Alge- bra 41-42, Fused Geometry 31-32, Math 21-22, Math 40, Trigonometry 4-0, and Math Analysis 40. Although a student must have taken first year algebra before enrolling in Algebra 41-42,' Alge- bra 21-22 may be taken at any time. Fused Geometry 31-32 is offered to anyone having already completed Algebra 21-22. Trigo- nometry and math analysis must be preceded by two years of algebra and one of geometry. With an average of at least 90 and a teacher's recommendation, uaccelersw classes in alge- bra and geometry may be taken. Students plan- ning to enter the scientific and engineering fields usually enter these courses. Math 21-22 and Math 40 are offered to those not planning to attend college. These courses are designed to teach the basic fundamentals of math. The basic goal of the Mathematics Depart- ment is to increase participation because much more math is being required in higher educa- tion. Steve Rutledge senior, accepts help from Mr. Teague on a problem in math analysis.
