Mathematics is essential in every occupation-from homemakers with their daily budgets, to teachers who must compute grades, from engineers who prepare building plans to painters who proportionally mix their colors. Each uses some phase of calculation. Heading the mathematics department is Edith Emery, who teaches higher algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and Trigonometry. Also teaching higher mathematics is Howard Iverson who teaches higher and elementary algebra.
