30 Mathematics, Mind-Former The usefulness of modern mathematics and of its application is as broad as the scope of modern Civilization. For when a student matures, mathe- matics will be constantly present in his daily life, either directly in his line of work, or indirectly in helping him to think logically. During these pre- paratory years at Xavier, a student learns the var- ious forms of advanced mathematics. Algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry all combine to develop in the student solid intellectual habits, which will be a great help to him in future years. The tremendous value of mathematics is recognized at Xavier, and as a result, mathematics commands an important position in the curriculum. Mr. OiLeary employs several geometric figures to explain solid geom- etry to Bill Fecher and Bill Sullivan. St. th telescope is closely examined by Ed Weinewuth and Bill Strick- t M AT H E M AT 1 C S er, as Mr. McAnaw explains the basic mathematical principle involved in astronomy. Mr. Cook solves a difficulty which his freshman class encountered in the study of algebra.
