If you have your eye on a career in business, then more than likely you are enrolled in shorthand, bookkeeping, or typing. These three skills are the keys to success in a commercial vocation. Much of the time is spent in practice. The main emphasis is placedonaccuracy and speed, andthese can be accomplished only through many hours of practice. Typing is, however, a course that many non-commercial students take on a semester basis. It is generally recommended for all students who plan to attend college.

Wally Connolly finds the slide rule to be an effective short cut if you manipulate it. Just one little x can be the biggest problem a math student has to face. Add a y or z and he has the complexity of the whole numeral system. But the most important thing to solving the problem is theapproach. This usually begins with practical math or algebra as a freshman, then progresses to geometry and advanced algebra, and'finally reaches trigonometry. Solving this mathmatical problem forces students logical thinking which becomes an asset in any subject.
