Mathematics We are fortunate in having a Mathematics de- partment which covers every phase of mathema- tics Within the three curricula offered. The de- partment tries to develop students, through math- ematics, so that they will be able to think and reason for themselves. The mathematics requirements for students pursuing the business and general courses are much the same. Freshmen in the business cur- riculum are required to take Mathematics I. Cen- eral course students may choose either Mathema- tics I or Algebra I. There are no additional math courses required of these students in their remaining years. However. they may elect any one of the following: Mathematics II, Algebra I, Algebra II, or Plane Geometry. To the college course students, six mathematics courses are offered. These courses enrich the pu- pilis background for college mathematics. A math course is required of college preparatory students in the freshman, sophomore, and senior years. Algebra I and Plane Geometry are com- pulsory in the hrst two years, and one of the following courses must be elected in the senior year: Algebra II, Advanced Algebra and Trig- onometry, Review Math I, or Review Math H. We have not only math courses required by col- leges and technical schools, but also special class- es geared to prepare students for entrance ex- aminations to these schools. A well developed mathematics program stands fully equipped to prepare students for whatever type of mathematics they may encounter in the careers which they choose. UNOW let's see!
