The Mathematics Department believes that each student should understand and enioy mathematics as a creative activity according to his ability. Mathematics instruction gives each student opportunities to fulfill his mathematical needs and to develop his mathematical po'- tential. Courses are taken according to curricula sequences. The Atrs sequence requires algebra I and- ll and geometry. In addition to these courses, Scientific students take trig- onometry, advanced algebra, and solid geom- etry. One year of general mathematics and one year of business mathematics are required for General and Business students, re- spectively. Y Business mathematics emphasizes areas use- ful to commercial students and is followed by bookkeeping. General mathematics includes topics from algebra and geometry, and deals with practical applications of mathematics. Algebra I emphasizes the nature of number systems and the principles governing them, equations and inequalities treated both algebra- ically and graphically, understanding of basic concepts, introduces imaginaries, logarithms, and background topics for further study in mathematics and science. Geometry empha- sizes deductive reasoning, the nature of proof, and the study of various geometric figures, both plane and solid. The final year includes trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra. A testing program, to survey achievement and to assist in ability grouping, is being plan- ned. Advanced classes are either being offered or are planned for all iunior and senior grades. Brandywine participates in the Delaware and National Mathematics Contests. Primes, Prtsm Sandy Vincent and Richard Harkness use tinker toys t explore solid Geometry. Four girls help Frank Allen with his algebra homework
