There has been a slow but steady increase in enrollment in the Mathe¬ matics Department. Some of this can be attributed to the new courses — Integrated Mathematics and Probability and Statistics — that are now of¬ fered at the Senior level. Both of these courses appear to be beneficial and enjoyable to the students taking them. This year construction is underway which will enable the Math depart¬ ment to make use of the computer in every math room. A connection to the computer plus a mobile teletype unit will be used for this purpose. The Mathematics department feels that bringing the computer to the students will provide greater flexibility and use than the converse of the-situation. It is also envisioned that this new availability will enable the department to develop at least two new courses. One would be designed for those students who wish to use the computer as an aid in their mathematics or science courses. The other would be more of a survey course and not as demanding in the mathematical background required of the student. Since it is highly likely that all graduates of N.H.S. will throughout their lives be affected by computerization, the Math Dept, believes that a course which would trace the history of computers, explain their operation, and allow students to write simple programs would lift to some extent the veil of mystery that surrounds computers.
