Mathematics has changed greatly in the last four years. Text books geared to the new approach and teachers imbued with the spirit of modern math are a vital part of the curriculum. This math is axiomatic, deductive and abstract. It does not replace the classical mathematics, but generalizes, unifies, and deepens the understanding of it. Arithmetic, Geometry and analysis are as important as ever. During the school year 1963-1964, a group of ap- proximately l50 freshmen began the study of mathe- matics emphasizing these new approaches. By the end of their senior year, they will have experienced an ade- quate mathematics background. The various math courses include subjects from Business Math to Trigonometry. Wliile math in the form of pure mathematics has reached heights of ab- straction, it has remained practical by multiplying and extending its applications. Automation has increased the need for mathematical knowledge and skilled labor. At SHS, mathematics tries to relate more and more intimate- ly man's activities in industry, social life, science, and philosophy. fe' W' ,tl king?
