The use of umechanical brainsn will not make math an obsolete subject but an even more im- portant one because highly complicated machines require a knowledge of advanced math. Scots gain an excellent background for this type of work in the math courses offered at Hi Park. In preparation for the new concepts now in- troduced in college math, emphasis has been put on advanced math in high school. In order to make room for advanced courses, plane and solid geometry have been combined into one course. Pupils are able to 'gseei' geometry through the use of three dimensional figures. Other new methods of teaching and improvements on the old methods have stimulated great interest in maths Math teachers attend seminars, lectures, and classes in the summer to bring new ideas of math theory and application to Hi Park. Special courses such as Slide Rule and Math SX provide specialized instruction for those stu- dents who plan careers in the field of math.
