Mr. Daniel Wright Mathematics is one of man's most important tools. lt not only helps him solve many everyday problems, but also keeps his mind thinking logically. By following an exact series of steps to solve a problem, a tendency to approach everythin in such a precise way is developeci Each mathematics course at Berkley High strives to equip the student with this skill. Plain and solid eometry deal not only with triangles and tetrahedrons, but with the methods of deduction and logical proof. The study ot angles and triangles which begins here serves as the base for a later course in trigonometry. Berkley High School also has special purpose mathematics courses. For the commercial students, business and shop courses cover the basic skills needed for certain occupations. There is also an accelerated mathematics program be inning in the tenth grade to cover ail the regular high school mathematics courses, plus a year of college algebra. Mrs. Ellen Hartwell 3.A.
