'Qw- I' e. Ks LX 1 Q I Perplexing Problem . . . Bruce Loveless hides his head in dismay at an Algebra IV problem while Mrs. Josephine Nichols pauses to help. World of numbers Recognizing the importance. of exact calculations in our complex life, most apprentice statisticians complete at least two years of math. The Math Department, teach- ing everything from basic arithmetic to integral calculus, is prepared to give each student as much math as he wishes to take. Beginning mathematicians learn the principles of algebraic operations in Algebra I and II. With this sound elementary knowledge, students are able to solve nrore difficult equations and verbal problems. In plane geometry the properties of points and lines in one plane are proven. By using the theorems stated, geometricians solve problems having to do with area and proportion. lnquisitive students may elect Solid Ge- ometry, which deals with figures lying in many planes and having three possible dimensions. Prospective businessmen learn the methods and prin- ciples ol? mathematics used in business by taking business math. This course concerns the practical application of :rrithemelical rules. lafith an understanding of algebra and geometry, non- scientifically inclined students are well prepared to solve every day mathematical problems. Also, students who want to extend their knowledge in science and mathe- matics are prepared to do so. Proof Positive . . . Owen lfair explains the correct geometric proof to jackie Kilgore so that she may see how to improve herself in the art of proofs which are of daily importance in her geometry.

YVorld history presents a general study ol the world's development from prehistoric times and early civiliza- tions to present day world allairs. The colorful history of the United States is studied in its entirety in the United States history classes. The United States history teachers tell us ol' our country's great men and documents from the pre-Columbus ex- plorers, the founding oi' our colonies. all the way to our present nation, and how they ellect all Americans in today's world.

In College Algebra theorems are proven and special fields of mathematics, such as statistics are introduced, explained and explored. Another popular course is trigonometry in which stu- dents leatn many facts about the relationship between lines and angles. Finally ambitious students take Ana- lytics I and Il a course that combines analytic geometry and calculus. These are the subjects that form the seventy-two math classes taught each school day by '1 staff of fifteen mathe- matics teachers. It is therefore easy to see that anyone wishing to advance in any field of mathematics has ample opportunity at Arlington. In fact Arlington is second in the city in number of students earning mathematics majors 'ind first in num- ber of students receiving minors Individual Assistance . . . im Sulver seeks a parley with Robert Underhill to discuss a question from his homework assignment.
