Math Department News!

The graphing calculator is a very useful tool for math students. Algebra 2, Integrated Math, Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry students are all encouraged to purchase one as soon as possible. It is not impossible to learn the material without one, but much more time consuming. For some assignments where a graphing calculator is absolutely necessary, students may share with someone else that has one but would need to make sure they were finished by the end of the class period. The calculator we recommend is any version of the TI-83.

Students in the Analytical Geometry, Probability and Statistics, and Calculus classes will be taking the American Mathematics Contest (AMC) on Februray 10. Students all over the United States take the exam on the same day. The goal is to find the top students in the country that would make up our USA team in competition this summer. It is always interesting to see how our students compare with others in the area and across the nation.

Coming up in March…..
Pi Day!!!
