MR. EMERY A. ALBEE, A. B., M. A., Chairman of mathematics department, algebra, trigonometry, senior class Special Courses Varied For Able Math Students MATHEMATICS ln this age of higher education, mathematics is an important subject for college-bound students of Mount Clemens High School. Today, many of them realize the vocational opportunities in the field of mathematics. General math is offered to the student who is unsure of his ability to handle algebra without first brushing up on basic math principles. Algebra is the first step a pupil takes into the field of higher mathematics. Here he learns to think in abstract terms. Solid and plane geometry teach a student how to reason and plan the geometric steps in a direct and orderly fashion. Trigonometry deals with meas- urement of and using triangles and methods of tri- angulation. FACULTY FACTS I 9 coach MR. CHARLES EVANS, B.
