A' fn! 24 Academics l Mathematics at Northwood developed logical thought processes and laid the foundations for further studies in college orjob. Differentiating algebraic functions was a part of the Introductory Analysis course which prepared students for college Advanced Placement tests. Many times students were up late finding the limits of poly- nomials or solving problems of volumes by the Funda- mental Theorem of Calculus. Trigonometry and Ad- vanced Algebra classes spent time graphing polar equations and learning the use of logarithms to solve right triangles. Programmed texts in Geometry were continued in use for a second year. Mrs. Jordan and Mr. Sharbaugh met with a class of one hundred each morning in the cafeteria to experiment in teaching oversized groups. Students in all geometry courses spent a good part of their homework time proving theorems and corol- laries from their knowledge of definitions and postu- lates. Algebra students worked with the binomial the- orem, solved simultaneous equations, and graphed conic sections. Pupils learned some of the fundamen- tals of simple equations and space relationships in Basic Algebra Geometry. ' Trigonometry student David Schulman reviews his grades with Mr. Miller.

Thomas Courses Provide Preparation For Business Business courses developed understanding and appreciation of the commercial World and its relation to the consumer. In General Business, banking, budgeting, saving, and insurance were discussed. Business Math students applied mathematical skills to problems concerning payrolls, financial statements, and income taxes. Elements ofa contract as applied to the consumer and the principles of practical econom- ics were discussed in Business Law and Economics, each a one-semester course. Students taking shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, and office practice became adept at operating such business machines as automatic calculators and adding machines. Such courses prepared pupils for the Civil Service examination, which was given several times at Northwood. Academics 25
