'es 1 I ide' Math application useful in fast-paced world Mathematics programs of the 1980's should in- volve students in problem solving. Problem solv- ing involves applying mathematics to the real world, serving the theory and practice of current and emerging sciences, and resolving issues that extend the frontiers of the mathematical sciences themselves. It was the math department's commitment to create an environment in the school such that each student may achieve mathematical literacy and may exercise, under proper guidance, the option to continue or to terminate the formal study of mathematics. From fundamentals of mathematics, algebra, consumer math, geometry, trigonometry, analytics, and calculus, the emphasis within the math program, stressed problem solving. Algebra ll is a challenging and fun course, commented Patti Roe, junior. Students should be able to search for and identify patterns, analyze given problems, verify findings, and compute, stated Robert M. DeBerry, math instructor. 2 4 r.
