The main objectives of the math de- partment are to develop an appreciation of the presence of quantitative problems in daily life, to develop a sound under- standing of them, and to help students to think and speak logically and precisely. Sound reasoning in analyzing and solving problems is instilled in math students so that they will be able to apply their learn- ings to their everyday life. Though the minimum math requirement for graduation is one year, and a student who has had math in Grade9 need not take any more in high school, if he so chooses, courses in algebra, geometry, and plane trigonometry are made available to those who show interest, ability, and ambition.
