K. W. II think the Math Department at Brook- S field Central is one of the best. Math l courses can be real nightmares if you have ,tt, , L ' a bad teacher, but luckily we have a helpful at and high quality teaching staff here at Cen- . 4 f tral. i f - Dan Peterson SN 5 ii' R 'af A 5 . 1 Q? ll e're very lucky to have such an excellent Math Department. The courses are geared so that they tie in closely with the science courses, which is invaluable to the student who is perhaps taking both Physics and Trigonometry. - Tom Felser X K - 4 From Addition to Arcsin Q 11, Mr. Max Hilmer - Trigonometryg Analytic Geometryg Geometryg Com- 122 X Math puter Scienceg Math Department Head. t2j Mr. Marc Miller - Algebra llg Trigonometryg Analytic Geometryp Boys' Track Coach. t3t Mrs. Janice Martin - Geometryg Algebra llg Elementary Algebra lg Lancer- ette Coach. my Ms. Mary Kocken - Elementary Algebra lg Career Math.

Students are able to take many different levels of mathematics, from Elementary Algebra to Calculus. Ut Tom Dockery studies for a Trigonometry test on polar coordinates. In the second semester, many Trigonometry students progress to Analytic Geometry.

ba- ff One and One Is Two T he well-rounded math background given by the Brookfield Central Mathematics Department can be a foundation for the future. ln the worlds of both busi- ness and science, a prospective employee must have a large and relevant background in mathematics. Such a working knowledge of both the fundamental and advanced forms of math is offered here at Central. Although only one math course is required to gradu- ate, most students take a predetermined sequence of courses. Math is one of those things l'm going to have to know for the rest of my life, so l'm taking all three years plus Computer Science, says Kurt Neumann. At Central, a student can take every course from Gen- eral Math to Calculus. Most students take Geometry and Algebra ll, and some dedicated students progress to Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry. Also offered are Statistics, Computer Science, and Calculus. I took math because it wasn't terribly difficult and because l like it, remarks Libby Hoff. I think it will help me later on with my career. ln all classes there are qualified teachers to help the students learn the sometimes difficult material. From addition and subtraction to using logarithms, sines, and cosines, math students at Central are gaining skills that they will use for a lifetime. Math X 123
