Equations, Exponents, Exercises, And Euclid As this world becomes increasingly dependent on com- puters, the world needs mathematicians who can take a problem and logically and deductively solve it. The equations, most of which were formed by Euclid, Aris- totle, and Galileo, are studied indepthly so that the problem solver can fully understand the conclusion he draws. Proviso West offers a wide-ranging excellent Math pro- gram with courses geared for every type of student. Algebra Plus, SDL Geometry, Advanced AIgebra-Trig- nometry Honors, and SDL Calculus create the 4-year Honors program which begins with a solid algebra base, adds a geometry base, and continues to build through Adv. Alg.-Trig. Honors and finally the study of calculus. For the college bound math student, Proviso's math program is exceptional. Aside from the Honors program, Proviso offers sound foundations in Algebra, Geometry, Alg.-Trig., and College Algebra courses, which are also geared for the college bound student. Anymore, it is not solely the facts, figures, and formulas that teachers insist upon, but also because of the fast- paced technological world, the Proviso math student applies himself and his facts and figures in order to solve problems which face him. Mr. Head answers Xan inquiry from the floor on a difficult problem. Contemplating the solution set, Mr. Chipman anticipates a question from his class. Mrs. Brown gives an explanation for a complex SDL Geometry prob- lem.

Herein Lies The Key To Our Futures Mr. Haas explains carefully and in detail some time consuming problems in C.P. Physics, These chemistry scientists cautiously pour acid into a test tube during an experiment. il, . KN! bl- ,Q-e .Xfo :sv o .xx Forever, man has investigated reasons to explain phenom- ena. He has experimented, researched, and tested every hypothesis until he has found a logical, sound conclusion. To study man's discoveries in the life sciences, reactions between chemicals, and laws of motion and kinectics, biology, chemistry, and physics were formed. ln these courses, the student can learn of the discoveries in these areas as well as experiment for himself to test these theor- ies. As man is constantly searching for ways to under- stand this planet better, he stresses advancing medically, technically, and scientifically. As Proviso students become the problem solvers of the future, we must learn to prove all our conclusions by careful and painstaking experimen- tation so that this world may become a better place to live in. Proviso science classes including SDL Biology, Phys- ical Science, General Science, Physiology, and the above mentioned are training students to develop fine research and experimental techniques as well as give them an understanding of the Science world around them. Learning how to use the microscope is one feature taught in SDL Biology. With absolute concentration, this young scientist allows just the right amount into the beaker.

TFT' World History students study the topography, geography, longitude, and lati- tude ot Earth. i i Mr. Paterson informs his Global Studies class about the economic, political, and geographical history of the world. ur K ,si Global Studies students are taught to reach ambitiously for the stars. Here, Mr. Paterson asks, Who wants an ice cream cone? History repeats itslf is a phrase which signifies the im- portance for a fine Social Studies department. As we live in the Nuclear Age, it is extremely important for the world's peoples to understand each other. Because it is necessary to cooperate with other countries in order to solve the world's problems, it is imperative that each country understand the other's history and economic situ- ation. But, in order for one country to understand another, it must first understand itself. U.S. History is required because every American should be consciously aware of our history. Our values and system of government are a by-product of many different peoples. As this country heads for the year 2000, we need to understand what direction we are headed in. World History, World Civiliza- tion, and Global Studies give the student the opportunity to understand other countries' cultures, histories, and val- ues. Consequently, the Proviso student is ready to handle the enormous task of surviving in a world where Commu- nism and Democracy battle and where economical and social problems arise everyday.
