A math class becomes a laboratory as they perform an experiment with tin, wood, and water to prove a difhcult geometric principle. On the far right, another class realizes the principles of mathematical propositions more readily when its geo- metric design is enlarged on a chalk board.

Students solve problems in mathematical science In today's science-conscious world, mathematics has proved to be a practical knowledge which students study and apply in the classroom. The student mathematician learns that its basic principles are scientific laws with which he can solve many problems. General math classes began with very simple mathematics. Students experimented in figuring out expense accounts and household budgets. Advanced students learned to apply more complex mathematical formulas in solving algebra problems. They computed travel time and distance, charted graphs, and solved problems in ratios. In geometry, students proved theorems and propositions. More advanced classes created geometric figures and patterns out-of paper, plywood, and glass. New advancements were made in mathematical science, too, this year. For the first time Cody's curriculum ojj'ered qualified math students a combined course in college algebra and trigonometry on the university level. W MATHEMATICS TEACHERS . . . Top Row: E. Bell.
