Chris Roy looks as if he forgot to do his Calculus for Mrs. Lyons. IT' ALL GREEK TO ME Modern society has borrowed relent- lessly from the ancient Greeks. Philoso- phy, the Olympics, classical mythology, many mathematical symbols and for- mulas, and the roots of our language - all these come directly or indirectly from Greek culture. Symbols of the Greek alphabet are vital to the working of higher math. Such aspects of math as geometry, cal- culus, trigonometry, and my favorite and yours A algebra - would not be so deeply explored without help from an- cient Greek mathematicians. CThanks a lot, guyslj Another item borrowed from the Greek is a phrase well-known to all of us: It,s all Greek to me! How many times have you been sitting in your French, Spanish, German, or Latin class, dumb-founded by the steady flow of foreign sounds issuing from your teacher's mouth? Well, don't let it both- er you. It happens to all of us. You know all those so-called intellectuals who declare vigorously that they don't spend all their free time studying? Well, even they get confused sometimes. All in all, the Greeks have given a lot to our lifestyle, and we shouldn't take it for granted as we so often do. We should recognize them for their hard work and achievements. So there you have it. Next time you can't understand your foreign language teacher, or you struggle with Pi in some obscure mathematical calculation, don't blame it on your teacherg blame it on Pythagoras! academics
