Standing: H. Anderson, R. Rodefer, T. Vichich, C. Superko, R. Snell, C. Franti, R. Lindstrom. Hubbell Hall 2 R Computer Laboratory Underlying all engineering is the science of mathematicsg considered alone, this deduc- tion greatly accounts for the Department of Mathematics importance on the Tech campus. Most of the Math Departments energies are devoted to the mathematical training of future engineersg however, the department is also rightly proud of its 40 offered courses, Na- tional Science Foundation research, an analog computors. Department head, Professor John lVl. Harrington, holds B.S. and EM. degrees from lVl.C.M.8zT., a Ph.M. degree from the University of Wisconsin, and membership in several education advancement minded or- ganizations.
