Algebra and General Math are offered to Freshmen and they are required to take one of the two courses. They both lay a basis for mathematical computation with Algebra being the more advanced. Geometry is offered to the Sophomores and it deals with proof of theorums that were previously taken for granted. It teaches the student that for every statement used there must be a reason for that statement along with a proof. Geometry, along with acquainting the students with its fundamentals, gives those interested in advanced mathematics a foundation for Trig- onometry. In requiring the student to take at least two years of math and science, the school realizes that this is essential because of the lack of these majors in our society of scientific adven- tures.
