Complexities Of Mathematics Constantly “Could you get the answer to (2x + 3y)8 on last night’s homework? You couldn’t? Let’s go ask the math teacher. He’ll know.” When young mathematicians ran into insurmountable prob- lems, they couldalways depend on the qualified math teachers to surmount them. Contributing to the students’ education, teachers led their classes into the unexplored realms of modern mathematics. Some of the new fields such as logic, probability, and math analysis joined the up-dated business math, algebra, geometry, calculus, and trigonometry courses. Although these math scholars sometimes balked at weighty homework assignments, the people of FCHS began to realize how important the third R was to them. After finishing twelve years of school, seniors truly appreciated the constant help that the math teachers gave them. 4 4 Se Mrs. Jewell P. Boitnott B.
