fmiTiEmiics r What is mathematics—another equation, story problem, figure? To the students at Niles North mathematics is an exciting and worthwhile subject to learn. It deals with the work of models, the intelligence of computers and the manipulation of calculators. The mathematics department purchas- ed a new terminal computer which is an outlet of the main computer located at Niles West. It is used to acquaint students with the func- tions of a computer. “Math is essential to the development process. It is an everyday function. It supplies students with enough information to build on later.” — Bruce Pivar. 22
