Chairman Ernest Stockwell With the great variety of math courses offered to R.F.A. students, everyone’s needs for the future should be met. For those students who are business orientat- ed, business math and bookkeeping are offered. Aspir- ing young mathematicians might find courses of Math 10 (a geometry course) and Math 11 (a combination of trigonometry and advanced algebra) appealing. This vear there is a new curriculum for twelfth year math students: “lementary Analysis, which is a full year course combining advanced algebra and advanced top ics in preparation for calculus in college. Two other half-semester courses are also offered to seniors: Intro- duction to Statistics and Computer Oriented Mathematics. With the fast advancement of sc ience and technolo- gy in this space age, Math is a subject with the future in mind. Under the able direction of Mr. Ernest Stockwell, the Math Department continues to impart the principles of mathematics to the students of R.F.A.

A new method-course taught by Mr. Bradish is programmed instruction which gives the student practice in applying what he learns in class. Thc course encourages part-time work and gives the student a graduating credit in association with the actual course. Computor Appreciation, taught by Mr. Hickey is now a two-year course preparing the student for work in the computer field. All other business courses are, of course, still taught and are very essential in preparing the stu- dent for the business world.
