Today, Central students realize the val- ue of obtaining a substantial introduction to modern mathematical ideas and their de- velopment. Our program provides strong foundations in the processes which are fun- damental to our modern scientific, commer- cial, industrial, and social systems. In the physical sciences, which are based on these mathematical principles, we are instructed by competent teachers provided with well- equipped facilities. The practical application of the laws of nature and the universe, those principles that form a basis for the develop- ment and stimulation of further knowledge continue to be stressed as basic to the im- provement of modern civilization. Logic and Mechanical Drill Provide THE TURNING POINT of the parabola is equal to the derivative, Mr. Pen- nington explains to his Advanced Alge- bra class. New at Central this year, the course is designed for those students especially proficient in math who are planning higher study in that field.
