Msg f 5, Mathematics HARRIET PHEIFER This department strives to encourage a sympathetic understanding of the culture, history, and social institutions of other peoples through its study of their written and spoken languages. One of the most important facts about the material world is that the EDNA K. SUTTON Loxs BYEHSQ KATHLEEN TURNEY Page Twenty objects in it can be counted and the masses can be measured. Pure mathematics--the science of num- ber and quantity unconnected with any material object - includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. These four constitute elementary mathe- matics. In its higher forms mathematics becomes a form of logic, a method of reasoning, in which the scholar follows through to their result any assumption that he lays down as basic.
