Miss Greenfield’s cast pro- vided Schreiber with the year’s most difficult puzzle. Was it skateboarding or sky- diving? The math program at Schreiber is designed to give students a basic understanding of both the theoretical and practical applications of mathematics. The integration of several School Mathematics Study Group courses into the traditional math sequence re- flects the change in modern mathematical thought. The SMSG Geometry course is offered to sophomores who have participated in an accelerated program in junior high. All seniors are eligible to take the SMSG Matrix Algebra course, and highly qualified seniors can take an advanced-placement course which may lead to college credit or placement in a sophomore-level col- lege course. Mathematics plays a highly significant role in so- ciety. The math department is helping all students meet the many challenges they will encounter in this discipline.
