The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to develop the powers of analysis of each cadet so that the mind will be able to reason to a logical con- clusion. This development is attained through train- ing in the various courses of Mathematics beginning with algebra and geometry and ending with calculus and differential equations. The basic knowledge ac- quired from the Department of Mathematics was to find its way into the courses of the succeeding years. The cadet who had trouble with math soon found that it was to his advantage to attempt to master the subject since so much of the last two years work depended on that knowledge.
