General math was a review of all arithmetic operations. Algebra, geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, and calculus were also offered for students who wanted a knowledge of more specialized fields of math. To develop thought processes in students was the basic aim in the higher math courses. Students were given basic theorems and then were required to apply them to different problems to obtain cor- rect solutions. Using good form was important in the math classes. Students' grades were determined from tests, quizzes, and daily homework assign- ments. Mr. Anderson gave his algebra students class time to prepare assignments.
