'i HUMA ITIE The Department of Humanities and Social Studies attempts to fulfill the need of the grad- uate engineer for a firm grasp of social con- ditions and pressures. Courses in English gram- mar, technical report writing, and public speaking stress the importance of clear speak- ing and writing. Economics, history, political science, and psy- chology emphasize some of the social and eco- nomic changes the successful engineering busi- nessman must understand and consider. Foreign language is taught as a tool in scientific re- search, as well as a means of communication. Mr. Pendergrass reveals some interesting 'd 1- h German courses taught by Professor Moulder. si eig ts XS NNN c 7, M K i s ,A x My E, ,, g ' X t t 3 5 131- 21' . -N fii 'E - i t ,iv , 1 A c,..

'T Harris Hall. MATHEMATICS Some of the greatest scientific ad- vances in history first came about through mathematical application before the actual proof in the lab- oratory. The Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, one of the top en- gineering schools in the nation in size and quality, must have an out- standing mathematics department to prepare its engineers for their role in meeting the demanding chal- lenges of the precisely controlled world of the future. From basic college algebra to the highly complex theories of differ- ential equations, the department of- fers exacting courses under well- trained teachers. The design and application of high-speed computers in the engineering field is also taught as a part of the rapidly ex- panding system of calculation.
