Under his guidance, coordinator Alan Krensky conducted the meetings held every two weeks. At these meetings, members worked out interesting prob- lems using the imagination, such as how to create a snow- flake curve. Using MdfhEllldfiC5 and Imagiization by Kasner and Newman as a main source book, the club members also studied advanced theoretical topics in mathematics: what is meant by a point? a graph? and a line? 45 Sa lly Rimkus ponders, Marty Altschul exultantly realizes, as Brian O'Connor has calmly solved another mathematical problem. CBaum- gil VIUIIJ Bernoullians, the junior-senior math club, was formed to discuss mathematical matters and problems. Under the guidance and instruction of the sponsors, Dr, Moore and lylr. Pereira, and Co-chairman, Brian O'Connor and lVIar- vin Altschul, the club considered topics which interested members, and which were not to be found in the regular course of mathematics in the curriculum.
