Calculators Make Math Michelle Cheney and Jenny Blake learned trigonometric functions of angles and tri- angles in Father Schilly ' s Geometry Honors class. From the concepts of acute parabo- las to the derivative formulae in Calculus, Father Schilly. He commented, Teaching I ' m hoping for a career in aeronautical engineering ... ! Michelle Cheney fundamental concepts of mathematics and also practical problem solving methods prepares the students for higher studies in mathematics as well as for their future ca- reers. Michelle Cheney remarked, Fa- ther teaches math which can be used later on in life. Fr. Schilly recalled, Now the calculators have made such problems rela- tively simple. — Michael Kuhn P5f 1 24 Images We Project
