Mathematics = Logic + Creativity Try to imagine a point in space, or the opposite of a number. Picture a plane or the set of real numbers. Mathematics requires not only the exactness of a science, but the creativity of an art. At Ritter these qualities are combined and the result is a highly successful math department. Algebra I students, Dave Johnston, Dave Hubbard, Russ Engels, Ron Kriech, Jeff Dakin, and Dave Os- borne pool their efforts to find correct answers. Group therapy? Cindy Schollaert, Bob Dean, Diane Lekse, Alice Miller, and Becky Turk realize the necessity for speed and accuracy when Sister Mercedes ' flashcards challenge their Algebra I class.
