l l Basie math fundamentals stimulate students to excel Compu ter programming was an important addition to the mathematiqig curriculum this year. Housed in the newly-named math resource center, a computer terminal provided students with the opportunity of creating and solving complicated problems. A few boys from Rice joined the upperclassmen in the programming course iteslf, while all of lVlarian's third and fourth year pupils received at least anodding acquaintance with the schoolls brainiest member. But the addition of the computer did not alleviate the never-ending struggle through difficult concepts of geometry, trigonometry and algebra. Students spent many frustrating and discouraging hours trying to con- quer various equations. Using several matbematic techniques and logical thinking, students tackled the impossible. The final results of their efforts were usually rewarding for the mathematicians. 42
