The Math Student
Horizons
During the tenth to thirteenth centuries,
many Viking sagas were written down by edu–
cated Norsemen, thus preserving them for
posterity. Horizons magazine fulfills the same
purpose for Technites today. Just as the Vik–
ing sagas before them, exceptionally good
stories written by students are preserved for
future enjoyment. Horizons also contains a
fine-arts section, in which artistically inclined
Technites display their work.
Guided by their faculty advisers, Mrs. Bar–
bara McEIIigot and Mr. Edward Ashrawy, the
successive staffs have produced consistently
good issues. Editors for the fall term were
Alan Milner, editor-in-chief; Arthur Kokot,
literary editor; Michael Cairo, art editor;
Tomkin Lee, Neil Lyman, managing editors.
Editors for the spring term were Arthur
Kokot, editor-in-chief; Tomkin Lee, associate
editor; Edward Gee, managing editor; Francis
Mandarano, literary editor; Michael Cairo,
art editor; and Robert Nelson, exchange
editor.
Mathematics constitutes an important part of Tech's curriculum, since it is the
basis of all branches of science and has many applications in industry.
Tech's prize-winning mathematics publication, The Math Student, serves to em–
phasize the significance of math bv presenting a broad range of articles dealing with
both pure and applied mathematics. These articles, along with sundry mathematical
games and puzzles, provide the student with a more intimate contact with the sub–
ject than can be obtained in the classroom alone.
This term's editor-in-chief was Samuel Fuchs, who had succeeded Alan Zimmer–
man, editor for the Fall term. The managing editors were Lawrence Scherr, Samuel
Estreicher, Howard Morris, and Mark Grab. Abraham Frankfurt served as art editor.
