Mathematics Department Emphasizes Understanding Mathematics majors at Texas Woman's University acquire an education in the subject which prepares them for positions in industry and as high school teach- ers. Students who are particularly able are encouraged to do graduate work. Emphasis is placed on understand- ing, rather than mechanical manipulation. The department offers programs leading to the de- grees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. Under- graduate students are required to obtain a good founda- tion in the liberal arts other than mathematics. The department sponsors the E. V. White Mathe- matics Club, which is open to all who are interested in mathematics, and the Texas Gamma Chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon, an honorary society for majors and minors who make exceptionally good grades. An award is given to the freshman who is judged to have done the best work in mathematics. ,I AAN DR. HARLAN C. MILLER Director and Professor DR.

Students are able to discuss and analyze their religious beliefs and problems with other students at meetings in student cen- ters which are maintained by local Denton churches.
