ADELE SHAPIRO AND MISS JUDITH HANDEL iiiiiliii MATHEMATICS Wingate has yet to produce any strong contributors to the world of complex mathematics, but as evidenced by the increasing number of calculus and advanced math courses, this situation vvill not exist much longer. Mathematics Chairman Max Peters and Mr. August Rizzuto are presently teaching classes in differential and integral calculus vvhich, if the students pass an advanced placement test, will carry college credit. ln September, such terms as differentials, integrals, asymptotes, and parameters, vvere Greek to the eager and not-so-eager calculus students as were the large number of Greek letters used as symbols. Not to be discounted are the increasing number of advanced algebra, trigonometry, and intermediate algebra classes. Credit must be given to the teachers of these courses, as vvell as to those of 9th and 1Oth year math. ln additton to the above, they are: Miss Clara Adlerblum, Mr. Louis Cooper, Mr. Ralph Deutsch, Mrs. Gilbert Gottried and Mr. Martin Jacobs.
