Choice of Electives Increased in Math Mr. Jay I). Weaver prepares u lesson for Math 14. Two years ago .1 major reorganization of mathematics offerings at Millersville was begun. To keep pace with the explosive growth of new mathematical concepts, students now cover in four semesters more mathematics than was accomplished previously in six semesters. Under the present program mathematics majors study eighteen semester hours of mathematics, including eight hours of calculus, by the end of the sophomore year. This permits wirier study of electives in the field. Electives re ccntly added include Modern Mathematics. Mathematics of Finance and Differential Equations. The mathematic's department, under Dr. George Anderson. held a conference on March 22, 1%I. attended bv about 85f? of the teachers in the service area, at which publications of the School Mathematics Study Group were critically analyzed.
