The Department of Mathematics instructs cadets on a broad range of academic disciplines. Going beyond elementary mathematical skills, the Department believes its mission includes public speaking (MS300), perspiration as a conditioned response to staggered desks (PL 100), and personal appearance (the Tactical Department). The Corps curriculum features Algebra. Trigonometry, Calculus. Differential Equations, and Probability and Statistics. Math majors venture into such courses as Math Modeling and Intermediate Probability and Statistics, among others. No cadets will ever forget their experiences with the Department—the proper method of presentation and recitation. the screech of staggering desks, and the inherently obvious, ubiquitous conclusions. Some may say. Anybody can punch the buttons. but the Math Department strives to explain the logic behind the keyboard. COL Jack W. Pollin. As the posters show, mathematics a stepping-stone to future endeavors, including beating Navy. Mathematics

Department Of Law FIRST ROW: MAJ Nolan Goudeaux. ITC James R 8aker. COL Robert W. Berry. COL Jerome X Lewis II. MAJ John G. Thomas III SECOND ROW: CPT Denise P. Contento. MAJ Michael B Neveu. CPT Roger A Butters. CPT John A. Schaefer. THIRD ROW: MAJ Arthur L. Passar. CPT James F. Qumn. MAJ John E Baker. MAJ Stuart H. Simms. MAJ William L. WaHis. MAJ William V. Adams. CPT John V. Sylvester IV. Although no cadet will be commissioned directly into the Judge Advocate General's Corps, we have gained an appreciation for the basic concepts of constitutional, international, business, and environmental law and the application of military law to our daily lives as officers. All those case briefs (some from cases not too brief!) enabled us to analyze the actions of various courts and helped us to learn the law. The requirement contained in our oath of office to defend the Constitution of the United States has added significance because of our study of it. We are better prepared to fulfill our professional responsibilities as officers because of our understanding and respect for the Uniform Code of Military Justice and other military rules and regulations. Somehow or another, those seemingly convoluted judicial opinions and Socrat-ic” discussions all came together and made sense in our law classrooms; however. there may be dissenting opinions. 58 Law

Passing through the portals of Mahan Hall you entered the amazing world of practical engineering. Perched expectantly on the second floor, the Department of Mechanics eagerly awaited the opportunity to reveal the innermost secrets of Thermodynamics. Solid Mechanics. Aerodynamics and Material Science to one and all. A sense of professionalism, interest, and enthusiasm seemed to permeate the Mechanics classrooms. Somehow, the Mech P's'’ always seemed to be able to make the study of difficult concepts challenging, interesting, and fun. Whether leading Beat Navy cheers, conducting a technicolor presentation on the intricacies of Friction. Fluid Flow. Entropy or Beam Flexure, or just meeting with Cadets. the Mechanics Instructors made each encounter both informative and enjoyable. As you . . bid farewell to Cadet Grey, and don the Army blue . . to face the problem-solving challenges of leadership in today's Army, recall the Mechanics Connection. approach the problem in a logical, positive way. and don't forget— underline the answer in red!!!! 60 Mechanics
