Veriecl Meth Department 1962-63 has been the year of the new mathf, The School Mathematics Study Group, long for SMSG, has produced a set of paperback texts containing a modernized approach to mathematics. The new courses are Introductory Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Geometry, Functions and Matrices. The students agree that the approach is radically new, with many claiming courses have become harder. Many are hav- ing to work a little harder to learn a lot more. The tradi- tional courses have not been completely discontinued, trig students still struggle with idenities, but their demise is as sure as a funtion maps a domain onto a range.
