Mrs. Dorothy S. Hogan uses geo-boards to teach geometry. Students may com- ' ,, . As director of the program, Mr. Daniels must know how to use all of the equipment involved, and must know all of the new techniques being implemented in the program. pare areas, or they may compare polygons. They may also derive formulas by using the geo-boards. For many, this is much better than working out the prob- lems without such an instrument. Mrs. Hogan developed special techniques tor the use of geo-boards and did special work with topology during the summer sessions held at Tufts University in the summer of 1968. Students who complete the training in mathematics are especially equipped to continue study in gradu- ate school, or to enter industry with maiors in mathematics. 'ws i- K Faculty, staff, and students work together to make it easier for students to reach their goals. Mrs. Joyce Robinson is secretary for the 13-College Curriculum Program. Mrs. G. Marie Harden is secretary to the director. Miss Anne Miller teaches philosophy. Leonard White, Billy Stewart and Gerald Como are the students. l07

Computer techniques and operations are part of the instruction in mathematics. Rev. Harold King ioined the faculty and the TCCP faculty in September. His stu- dents are among those who learn to use the computer in solving problems. All first year students are trained in the use of the computer. With Rev. King are, left to right, Curtis Cheatham, Linda San- ders, Yoland M. Beard, and, seated at the GE time-sharing teletype computer, Bren- da Southall. An added feature of the mathematics program is the correlation with science instruction. The mathematics that students need in science classes is taught in regu- lar mathematics classes. Most of the time, students can get help with any area of mathematics individually. ,vs .qi D, 1 9 3 ema ICS DS PUC lOh S iM th t' I t t' I Useful, Practical, Scientific ln lrlfff' lll Ll? . 135 L.

Figure formed on the boards are easy to stud as they remain stable and lend them selves to study. All facets of trigonom etry, including identities, functions, tri angulation, inaccessible distances, an transcendental relations, are included i the instruction. Calculus from a begin ner's standpoint, topics in algebra, mod ern mathematics, and the fundamenta facts of addition, subtraction, multiplica tion, and division are in the regular cur riculum. Statistics and probability are con sidered. Students have the privilege o ioining groups of special interests an can pursue studies as long and as fa as they wish outside of the classroom.
