Computer Programming New Course in Math Department Math teachers at Red River are the leaders of the school's individualization. With a program that provides for complete flexibility of learning, the math teachers constantly respond to new challenges for individual growth. A new course offered by the math department this year is computer programming. The goal of this class is to teach a computer language-- BASIC--and to teach how to program and use the computer. The ultimate goal is to enable students to use their computer knowledge in other classes, such as chemistry and physics. 114 math A. Gary Sorenson, Geometry. B.
