Department nf A4 fzflzemzzfic ALLEN L. BRADFIELD Chairman ot the Mathematics Dept Professor of Mathematics and Director of Athletics A. S., Vincennes University, 1948 B. S., University of Illinois, l95O M. S., Indiana University, 'I955 Graduate work--Clark University The Mathematics Department offers courses in three areas. There are those designed for transfer credit, those intended to improve a student's background, and those required in certain terminal programs of the Career Division. The transfer courses are those normally offered at the freshmen and sophomore level of any four-year col- lege. This year an elementary course in Differential Equations has been added to the list for math and en- gineering majors. To supplement the courses intended to improve a student's background and prepare him for taking transfer courses the department has available three auto-tutors, two film projectors., and other audio- visual aids. Additional auto-tutors are on order and a new mathematics laboratory is being planned. The ter- minal mathematics sequence now includes two courses in applied mathematics, one in technical solutions, and one in applied statistics. ' An interdependent sequence of four courses is being developed corresponding more clearly to the needs of the students in the various technical programs. 21

Social Science instruction is also given to students in the vo- cational terminal programs. Plans are being made now to introduce some audio-tutorial instruction in the division.
