In World History and European History, students gain a clearer picture of our world as a whole, its political, social, and economic develop- ment.

MATH INVESTIGATES ABSTRACT WORLD Numbers decided the War Between the States—the number of men on each side, amount of money, and num- ber of weapons and ships possessed by the North and South. The land campaigns and sea battles were carefully mapped and planned by using geometry and trigonometry. The Math Department maintains courses of Algebra, Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, Plane and Solid Geometry, and Business and General Math. Times have changed since I860.
