BC Initiates New
Math Program
In these first few weeks of
sidhool many of 'the students
here at Brevard College have
expressed ia feeling of confusion
oonceming the new m;^h
courses. The sophomores, who
are directly experiencing the
transition, have esipecially ex
pressed an interest in what
these new courses entail.
Previously, the general math
courses consisted of Maith 01,
a non credit course; Math 10,
which was basic algebra and
v^^oiuld transfer to a few schools;
Math 11 or regular college al
gebra and Math 12 which en-
taiiled trigonometry. Under this
system a liberal arts student,
ctarting in 01 would have to
spend two years >in order to
meet a one year requirement.
All foMT of these math
courses have been condensed in
to Math 13 and 14 this yean
Math 13 includes general mam
and some algebra.
that previously entered 01 will
now go into a special Math w
course that meets five days a
week, for three credit hours.
The regular, three day a jek
Matih 13 has taken the place
of 10 and also covers some ma
terial that was included in 11.
Math 14 covers the last part
of the old 11 and all of 1^
Thus, the four semesters of
math that were here last year
have been sliced into two trans
ferable math courses.
There are still two sections
of the old Math 12. These two
sections are being offered fw
students that had completed 11
last year and needed only one
semester more of math. This b
the lasit semester 12 will be of
fered. All other students have
been enrolled in the new math
courses.
Noit only have the old maith
courses been changed, but a
new course has ben add^ .o the
curriicutom. Math 17. IVUth 1/
is a prexsaratory course for cal
culus It is mandatory and will
..offer calculus teachers more
time to teach calculus, rather
than cover revievi^ materi^.
Thus, incoming freshmen
will be experiencing an enjoy
able transition, a change in
^vhich they will cover the same
material in less time and get
full credit for ail of it.
