Math MATH DEPARTMENT Bcnilde has a tradition of providing a well structured background in the area of mathematics. This year the math department attempted to expand its program to include all students. Freshmen took the first step by building a foundation with basic algebra taught by Mr. Krctsch and Mr. Hendrickson. In their geometry classes. Mr. Patrias and Mr. Haider give their sophomores an opportunity to prove themselves. In their junior year, students return to algebra. With the help of Mr. Boufford and Mr. Kretsch. they developed a broader understanding of the principles of algebra. This year, for the first time, three math courses were offered to the seniors. These courses include Calculas, Math Analysis, and Math 12 taught by Mr. Patrias and Mr. Boufford. All three courses arc optional. Obviously, this department adds up to something!
