High school mathematics, although calculus is offered at Bella Vista, is not sophisticated enough for the student to be able to see Where he fits in the picture. The Mathematics Department tries to present this exciting aspect of their sub- ject which many students would otherwise miss. For mathematics plays-a part in al- most every conceivable endeavor--in com- posing music, in social studies, business, art, recreation, home economics, and of course, in science and technology. lt will become an increasingly important tool through the computer as a means of im- posing order on complexity. Bella Vista's Mathematics Department provides a high quality of education from basic math through calculus by teachers Who know and like their subject. QYou may even get l-Iamlet's soliloquy with your cosines .J Mathematics has many practical ap- plications, but its major Worth is that it expresses man's highest achievement- thinking in the abstract. 59
