Math Department Features New Math Techniques In calculating tough moth problems such os those that students encounter in the higher courses of Analytic Geometry and Algebra III, deep concentration is a necessity. Computers may occasionally make errors, but modern math, never! With strong con- viction moth teachers guided their some- times bewildered students from the familiar footpaths of traditional concepts onto the new highways of sets and updated curricu lum and up to the hallowed, many-calculate higher planes of advanced mathematics. Math 8 and 9 provided the basic essentials needed in advanced or practical mathematics and introduced the basic concepts of the new moth that so baffled would-be parent helpers. Algebra I and I! explored equations, inequalities, functions, sequences and series, vectors, exponents, logarithms, and preview- ed trigonometric functions under the princi- ples of the set theory. Unified geometry, which combined plane and solid, delved into spatial relationships and the relationships existing between points, lines, and planes, The students use the old bean in arriving at their q.e d.'s. Trig, involving indirect measurement, logarithmic computation, with its algebraic study of geometric figures and preparation for calculus, and Algebra III, teasing the minds of ardent moth stu- dents, formed the higher peaks of high school math, pointing encouragingly to great- er challenge in the college future. le J 26
