Math IV offers students an integrated course covering both advanced algebra and trigonometry. Modern applications of math are graphically demonstrated in this work, which points out prime reasons for continuing the study of mathe- matics. On Mondays students who have ventured into the world of Math V reach a critical point in their course and must exert maximum effort. They find, however, that calculus and analytic geometry assume an increasing function in their later studies. MR. OREN D.

MR. HOWARD G. BISHOP BS, Austin Peay State College; General Math and Algebra I. Math Determines Courses MRS. CAROLYN F. WILLIS BA, Winthrop College; Geometry. As the sophomore begins his first math course at Glynn Academy, he has a feeling of frustration and a secret knowledge that the early mathematical heroes formulated their innumerable equations for the sole purpose of be- wildering him. The student usually spends the first few weeks of the course learning the general principles of the course and the little eccentricities of his teacher. In Algebra I the student has his first taste of coefficients and exponents; this sets the scene for Algebra II. In his second year of algebra the student takes up such foreboding subjects as the sexagesimal system, permutations, and the Fibonacci sequence. Geometry encompasses the interesting area of plane surfaces, offering proof that math does have use in everyday life. MRS. CLAIRE T.

MR. W. R. HORTON BA, University of South Carolina; MA, Appalachian State Teachers College. Reactionary Chemists Would Paper strips, clothes pins, and graph paper—that’s what physics is made of. Whether determining the mass of the electron or studying dynamics, approximation is allowed— so long as it is precise. While the amount of work done by the student often defies the laws of energy conservation, this does not seem to matter. While chemistry is a course stressing lab work, the labs consume only a small portion of the class time, the rest being devoted to investigating the chemical and physical properties of atoms and molecules. Solutions to seemingly insolvent gas-law problems are sought, and many unbalanced equations never pan out. MR. JIMMY P.
