Students who wish to major in mathematics take semester courses in Ad- vanced Algebra, Solid Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, or College Algebra. A refresher course in Arithmetic is offered to the Freshmen who need additional training in this field, For those students entering fields in engi- neering, architecture, science, meteorology, statistics, and actuarial work, the complete mastery of all high school mathematics as a background for further advanced preparation is absolutely necessary. Of interest to all the students are the dis- play cases that show practical applications of the various mathematical subjects. Mathematics Department Honors Linccln N
