Precision and accuracy are a definite necessity. The course itself is an exception in that it does not get easier as one becomes more familiar with it. The deeper one gets into the format, the more involved and rigid it becomes. The one thing that does make it easier is familiarity and practice. The only time a concept becomes easy is when one has worked a problem a countless number of times. The staff of the math department is well qualified as well as numerous. Dr. Johnson’s classes are extremely popular and well affamed. Often people have to be rejected because of over-crowding. He also serves as a senior class sponsor. Mrs. Post is well reknowned for the extreme concern she has for her students. There is never a time she will not stop and do anything she can in order to help someone.
