X- Q ag 5ff.ss f, ':' - Mi Wei QAQQQW Math Pupils Learn Basics Cf Computers Computer Math was added to the Mathematics Department this past year. The course, taught by Mr. Ron Freeland, utilized a computer pro- vided by the Indiana Bell Company. Students electing to take Computer Math were allowed to practice opera- tion of the machine during their free periods. Calculus students learned advanced mathematic techniques under the guidance of Principal R. Lloyd Green. Many Geometry students dis- covered that knowing a square from a triangle iust wasn't enough. Students not only had to find answers, they were also expected to prove them! Learning the rules of Plane Geometry was the first task for these students. Algebra l-IV students were in- structed on everything from the His- tory of Algebra in their first semester, to the use of the slide in Algebra Ill. Another brain strainer offered by the Math Department was a combined course of College Algebra and Trigo- nometry, called Pre-Calculus. Attempting to solve an algebraic problem on the board, Sophomore Michael Jordan ponders over a possible answer to an equation. l 2 5

The only girl Computer Math student, Steciphanie Heard used computer language ro type the in- formation that she feeds into the machine. M-rffwwngr Combining their knowledge in an effort to find the right answer, Scott Hatchel and Cheryl Sams attempt to solve a problem in Geometry l. Showing a film to his Geometry class, Mr. Wil- liam Gibson presents a new dimension in the learning of math, using a tried and true tool- the sound movie proiector.
