Even before men could read or write, they were counting on their fingers or using simple calculating machines. It follows that in order to succeed in any business, one must have some knowledge of mathemat- ics. Mathematics is of such fundamental importance in engineering and in almost all physical sciences that it is a necessary part of the preparation for a career in these fields. In its every form, mathematics is a test and training in clear, logical, accurate thinking. The courses offered at Fort Myers Senior High School are Algebra I and II, Geometrv, Refresher Math, General Math, Business Math, and Advanced Math. iV . J MRS.
