Math Mathematics takes us still further from what is human, to the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the actual world, but every possible world, must conform. Russell Led by department head”, Mr. Don Lyons, the Math Department combined their diverse talents and abilities to provide students with a varied curriculum. Courses such as Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and even 12H, bec-came popular with seniors and Tommy Thompson. Although students often complain that they can find no rhyme nor reason to some of the aspects of math, we must realize that mathematics is the foundation upon which much of science and business is based. With this in mind, we can develop a greater appreciation for the skills and reasoning involved in math. In closing.
