Buttons, Brains, And Basic Courses Discovery! was the motto of the '66-'67 math de- partment. With less emphasis on lectures, students had the opportunity to learn more through experience. Osseo was one of the schools in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area having access to a full-size computer. Via teletype, students in the new computer programming Class, and other math courses, were able to write and solve their own problems. The enthusiastic students, often spending their study halls and after-school hours using the computer, soon learned that the electronic brain , though a powerful tool, was only as intelli- gent as the programmer. As in other years, the Pythagorean theorum, com- pounded interest, and fractional exponents multiplied the problems of the students in the basic math courses, Geometry, Algebra, and Business Math.
