Over l,OOO of Patrick Henry's l3OO Patriots are enrolled in one of the eight math courses of- fered. Many students take basic or general math. Those enrolled in Algebra l, Algebra ll, and Plane and Solid Geometry study the basic concepts of modern mathe- matics. The set theory and new definitions for mathematical pro- perties perplex, bewilder, and fascinate numerous Patriots. Advanced math courses, Col- lege Algebra, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry, are semester courses carrying a half credit in- tended further to prepare pupils for college math. For the first time a fifth year of advanced math, including a semester of calculus and a semes- ter of analytical geometry, was offered to those who had taken Algebra in the eighth grade. On March 4, interested and competent math students took a test given by the Mathematics As- sociation of America. Jill Butler, Pat White, and David Davis, engrossed in Algebra l board work, never realized that the camera sow them and snapped them.
