Mathematical problems Math is a world all its own, and a concen- trating math student can have a bomb fall without his knowing it, and-no wonder! Math courses, ranging from basics in alge- bra to the complexities of math 4, offer a challenge to Dwenger minds. To undertake a math course is an intellectual gymnastic, but not an impossibility. The math depart- ment, headed by Sister Maris, offers stu- dents an understanding of all the basic concepts, beginning with algebra in fresh- man year. Sophomores find themselves dis- covering geometrical inspiration in the intricate, designs of triangles, squares, cir- cles and every imaginable shape. Logic is the Key to understanding theorems and postulates. Trig probes further into the bas- ics of alegbra and introduces its own new concepts. Students become acquainted with the four functions of trig: polynomials, trigonomials, expotenials and logarithms. Math 4 with its intricacies is a fine college preparatory course. Yes — math plays a vi- tal role and students can go far, even to INFINITY! A. Bob Stier explains an intricate problem to puzzled Math 4 students John Holly and Mary Jo Hoffman. B. With the aid of the overhead projector Monica Cole displays her geometric proof.
