The whole pro¬ gram takes into consideration the fact that most college students intend to take more mathematics than Just those courses reguired in high school. The department offers not only college preparatory work but also a course which may in the future be worth college credit. The Mathematics Depart¬ ment presents its courses with the hope that work in mathe¬ matics will develop in stu¬ dents the ability to do criti¬ cal, logical, and analytical thinking. The work in algebra and much of the more ad¬ vanced work is designed for this purpose. The importance of mathe¬ matics in the business world is becoming more and more apparent. The department plans to give students a grounding in mathematics that will enable them to move into the various fields of busi¬ ness and to be prepared to learn in a special field. [16]
