Our Math Department is in the hands of two very capable leaders. Our instructors require exactness and preci¬ sion of their mathematically inclined students. Through their help, students learn to deal with quantities, magni¬ tudes, and forms, and the relationship of these numbers and symbols. It is through this mathematical analysis that students learn to acquire skill in arriving at logical conclusion.
