Mathematics Department provides sound basis Mr. Joseph H. Carpenter Roanoke College, B.A. Math, Government Typical of the Mathematics Department are slide rules, rulers, com- passes, protractors, equations, and written problems. There are two functions of math at ACHS. Courses are provided for those students who want a general background in math for use after they get out of high school. These courses enable the students to figure out their income taxes, insurance plans, installment buying, and bud- gets. More advanced courses of math give those college bound stu- dents a valuable background for the mathematics and science courses which will face them in college.
