Dickinson College A knowledge of mathematics is necessary not only to conquer space, but also to solve every- day industrial, business, and domestic problems. There is no profession which is entirely devoid of some kind of mathematics; however, the new emphasis on the engineering profession requires a wider, deeper understanding of mathematics. The mathematics courses offered at YJC which will gi e the space enthusiast a back- ground are: algebra, analytical geometry, cal- culus, engineering drawing, surveying, and trigonometry.
