Accelerated Courses Rellect Nation's Technical Needs There was a time when the mathematics course in the curriculum found itself relegated to the also rans and considered solely as a useful ap- pendage. In a sense the reasoning was justifiedg the need for engineers and technicians was sparse. Post-war America put an abrupt end to that com- placency and in the process revolutionized and revitalized all the sagging science and math pro- grams. Courses previously styled college onlyi' now have become routine in the secondary level, pro- grams which ordinarily iilled an entire year of study now have been condensed and combined with similar courses-doubling the material in the same time period. Newer trends in the numbers field have given new birth, color and life to a renaissance of math- ematics, unequalled in recorded history. SOLID STUFF. George Takacs and Robert Dassel analyze the various sections of the conical surface.
