Wagner Mr. Jordan S. Goldman Dr. William J. Seaman Assistant Professor of Instructor in Lecturer in Computer Mathematics Mathematics Science MATHEMATICS he Math department received a PEW foundation grant to upgrade their computer facilities, so they have added three Apple 2 mircocomputers, and hope to get a graphics terminal and a network to bring the microcomputers on line. The department created math and computer science minors, hoping to get Computer Science approved as a major in the near future. They added new courses in operating systems, structured Pas- cal, data base management, data structures, computer organization, and methods for computer science. Mathematics is the link between the arts and sci- ences. As the basic tool for quantitative analysis, it has practical applications in Chemistry and Physics. Yet Mathematics is an art. The ability to reason, learned by patiently proving mathematical theory, is basic to effec- tive communication of ideas in all areas of knowledge. Mathematics is universal, yet particular, applicable, yet theoretical. Mathematics is beautiful . -Jacqueline Meckwood 27

As a double major was able to concentrate my studies in Account- ing while receiving a general under- standing of the business world. I found it interesting to have a major in which book knowledge and real world situations were integrated. My education branched into many aspects of business which allowed me to gain a greater insight into my chosen field. ” Robert D. Gelman Roger-Eh-Good Looking! 29
