The general aim of the mathematics curriculum is to provide each student with the opportunity to acquire and develop mathematical skills commensurate with his ability. These include basic areas necessary for everyday life in our modern society and topics which are fundamental for studies in a wide variety of disciplines at the college level and in other technical areas.

The courses cover the traditional areas of high school Algebra
and Geometry as well as advanced topics from a modern viewpoint. Both traditional and modern teaching techniques are employed. In an effort to keep abreast of modern technologies, the use of calculators is required and the study of computer science is encouraged.

Those who intend to go to college should take the electives beyond the two year requirement. A four year study of mathematics is very helpful to most students and is
a frequent college admission requirement for students interested in the sciences and many other disciplines.
