Although One Plus One Equals Two, Today’s I know some even better ones, too, quips Mrs. Isakov. It is a long trek from Algebra I to analysis, but those students wishing to enter the intriguing world of mathematics profit by the new concepts intro¬ duced in the Math Department. This year, Modern Math is not used completely, but its revolutionary concepts are used to enhance the more traditional method of study. Algebra I, geometry, and Algebra II are highly recommended for every college-bound student, and much more advanced courses such as matrix algebra, functions, calculus, and analysis are offered for those who maintain at least a C average in the earlier courses. With Mr. Allee as Head, the Mathematics De¬ partment has as its primary objective to give all stu¬ dents a basic understanding of the concepts of mathematics and its innumerable uses and functions in the modern world.
