In this age of technical advancement, mathematics has become an integral part of our lives. DuPont's mathematics department is teaching our students to apply this pure science to practical situations. Related sciences such as chemistry and physics are based upon the application of mathematicsg but even more im- portant for example is mathematics' every day use in balancing our weekly allowances. DuPont offers our students the full founda- tion of mathematics from basic mathematics to introductory calcu- lus or business arithmetic. DuPont's college preparatory program has introduced an ac- celerated mathematics plan to encourage logical, critical, and inquisitive thinking in the able students. Beginning with algebra in the eighth grade, the interested students continue the plan with geometry, intermediate algebra, trigonometry and advanced alge- bra. This yearls participating seniors are the first students to com- plete the accelerated plan and have gone on to take freshman college mathematics.
