Mathematics challenges students Math courses at UHS include Fundamentals of Math, Introductory Algebra, Algebra, Consumer Math, Geometry, Trigonometry and Elementary Analysis. Fundamentals of Math teaches the mathematical skills and concepts necessary for individuals to function in our society. Introductory Algebra consists of an informal, but logical development of the basic theory and structure of Algebra as an extension of basic arithmetic. Algebra covers the language of Algebra, linear open sentences, polyomials, rational expressions, irrational expressions, and quadratic equations. Consumer mathematics assists individuals to be better buyers, to make more effective purchases and to manage personal income more efficiently. Geometry is the study of plan and space figures, and their relationships. Trigonometry covers topics in circular functions, inverses of circular functions, numerical trigonometry, vectors, and complex numbers. Bottom Left: Algebra teacher Mrs. Betty Hilderbran can still smile even when she must pick up a novel from a bored Algebra Il student. Bottom Right: lt's another busy day for Mrs. Joe Dunlap, as she guides her geometry class in a geometric construction. 64 Math ,gli 2 . 4 . , fl 3 x , Obdulia Bendsle AIQSDFB I Si lflfI'0. Algebra I.

l Ng- .st Foreign languages Broaden education The foreign languages offered at UHS include Latin, Spanish and French. In any of these classes students acquire an interest in and a basic knowledge and culture of that language and will receive a glimpse of its effect on our times. Teachers use stories, discus- sions, pictures, filmstrips, movies and an abundance of books during the year to arouse and maintain interest in the culture of that language.

Scientific knowledge gained through lectures and lab Science classes taught at UHS include Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Advanced Science. Physical Science consists of a study of matter and energy and is, therefore, an introduction to chemistry and physics. General Biology is an introductory course which covers structures and function, body systems, genetics, botany, microbiology, invertebrate, and vertebrate comparative anatomy. Chemistry consists of a study of atomic structure, chemical bonding, formula and equation writing, problem solving, and laboratory skills in inorganic and organic substances. Physics is a study of the relationship between matter and energy. Topics included in this course are measurement forces, motions, heat energy, nuclear energy, wave motion, sound, optics, magnetism, electricity, particle physics, and modern applications. - t Left: Giving a final inspection to class projects are Brian Zimmerman and Mrs. Leona Wootton.
