Solid geometry requires threeclimensional reasoning and analyzing. Geometry develops the student's ability to think and enables him to base his conclusions on facts. Mathematics Teaches Accuracy and Precision The mathematics department offers courses in basic math for those students who need a foundation and preparation for college. For those who want to wade deeper into mathematics, advanced courses in algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are offered. But mechanical computation is only a part of math. By careful thinking in terms of x's, y's, et cetera, students learn to apply logic and reasoning to their lives. First year algebra prepares the student for his more advanced math courses.
