Trig students find that they are expected to solve complicated problems. Paul Jeansonne uses logarithms to solve one such problem. Solid geometry classes spend one semester working with equipment that will be especially useful to them as architects and engineers. Mr. Marler explains the use of the transit to Ronnie Deen and Dick Ducote. Solving problems to find an unknown quantity is often simpler if done on the blackboard. Larilyn Aymond works one such problem, solving for X.
