Math Department Educates Students In A Wide Variety Of Courses To prepare the student in as many mathematical aspects as is possible to achieve - this is the chief goal of the Conestoga Valley Mathematics Department. To enable more student usage the department has added to its computer facilities another MERC Computer terminal, the goal being that every student is able to operate the computer at least once before graduating. This year, for the first time at Conestoga Valley, freshmen are taking geometry because of studying algebra in junior high. The program was moved down to allow the students to take a new course of advanced placement calculus when they are seniors. ln order to get students to use mathematics involving practical problems, a lab approach is being used. In this approach the stu- dents work outdoors and in individual groups making maps and finding indirect distances. This method is used especially in gen- eral courses.
