Departments Depend On Computations And Creativity Calculators, compasses, chalk boards; paint brushes, pi- anos, pottery wheels — all of these tools aid students in “getting the job done.” Whether it be a subject as mind- teasing as math or as self-expressive as art or music, learn- ing becomes easier with the assistance of such learning aids. In the Mathematics courses offered today, calculators often seem necessities. Once having learned the basics of algebra and geometry, math-oriented students may elect to tackle such courses as Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, and Calculus. Also offered are courses dealing with the business side of math. These include Probability and Stat- istics, Consumer Mathematics, Measurements, and Com- puter Programing. Perhaps not as technical as mathematics, but just as intricate are courses in art and music. Creativity plays a major role in all levels of art as it does in Music Theory classes. Other classes such as concert band, orchestra, pi-
