Kenneth Buonanno Herman Lantner George Lacouture 22 One of the prime functions of the mathematics department is to teach the basic structure of mathematics. Our teachers seek to clarify, simplify, and unify mathematical ideas through an investigation of the structure of algebra and algebraic methods. The topics covered, together with their associated skills, form an essential part of the mathematic background that the students will need as adults, while at the same time laying a solid foundation for any future work in mathematics. There is hardly a question or a problem in the field of numbers that our staff members haven't taken apart step-by-step to afford our students with a better understanding of not only the how but the why of mathematics as well.
