Sine Curves Become Biorhythm Charts “Clear your desks!” Mr. Brown instructed his second period trigonometry class. Waiting for the usual groans to subside, he began to distribute graph paper. “Multiply 365 by your age,” his instructions began. The final result was three graphs, represent- ing a complete biorhythm chart. Relating the information he had learned from a magazine arti- cle, Mr. Brown told his students that the three graphs represented their intellectual, emotional, and physical cycles. This project was only one answer to the constant student challenge, “What do I need to know this for if I’m not going to become a mathematician?” In calculus class, students researched various mathematical topics dealing with every area from gambling to geography. Computer Math students learned the basics of working with computers. Although some of the math taught on the higher level may not have a useful application as yet, the constant advancement of technology will eventu- ally make use of all mathematical knowledge.
