Senior SMSG completes modern math sequence With the addition of SMSG 12, a group of seniors completed the modern math series begun in the junior high. The course, which paralleled the traditional tvvelfth year in greater depth, differed in its topical approach to math. More emphasis was placed on mathematical structure as basic background for col– lege calculus. Seniors were also offered Math 12, an advanced algebra course, and Senior Math in which they studied statistics, spatial geometry, set theory, logic, analytic geometry, and introductory calculus. Geometry students solved proofs, memorized theorems, and constructed geometric figures. Math 11 students tackled logarithms, trigonometric functions, and intermediate algebra. Other courses offered in the math curriculum in– cluded elementary and intermediate algebra, trigo– nometry, SMSG 12, and SMSG 11. Concentrating on the difficult advauced algebra examiuatiou, Leslie 1/arris attempts to solve a problem. Substituting for Mr. Miller.
