From the fundamentals of math to calculus, the math department continues to improve its course offerings to better prepare students for the rigors of college math and math-related careers. Computer math provided students valuable information and experience in dealing with computers. Instruc- tion was given in number bases, flowcharting, and other thought processes used in writing programs. To familiarize students with the capablities and functions of computers in society, experience in word processing and data base management was offered in the course. in .l ,-UU,N 5- K g gg! :QM ,, .
