Technological Society Renders Mathematical Background Invaluable The future’s most extraordinary professions will find mathematicians to be of incomparable worth. But even if a student is not mathematically gifted, her everyday life will undoubtedly benefit from a solid comprehension of mathematical concepts. Many students take two years of mathematics — Algebra and Geometry — in preparation for college work. More advanced classes present such challenging subjects as Probability and Sta- tistics which gives the student an opportunity to utilize the laws of chance; Linear Algebra which is Algebra in an abstract form and does not use numbers; Computer Mathematics — an excellent area of study in regards to our future society and Analytical Geometry and Calculus which explores many topics of higher math and thoroughly pre- pares the college-bound student planning to con- tinue in the field of mathematics.
