Positions in these professions depend upon a mathematical basis for all calculations and observations. lt is not only those who choose to go into one of the above vocations who need a knowled f h ge 0 t e subiect, but for all, because of the three-dimensional world in which we live. h the ever-increasing importance ot engineerir' na ' t' Mathematics can . p y ng a game to some, and, there- fore, those who are interested enroll in a four-year course.
