Smith Murphy Charles A. Osmond Dallas O. Peterson Dick R. Rogers Spencer L. Seager Fred S. Rabe Mathematics concerns the process of drawing logical conclusions from known facts. It is one of the cornerstones of our civilization and existed as far back as the stone age. In earliest recorded history man made use of the idea of number. At first he had only a few simple words, such as "one," "two," and "many" to express his idea of number. He could match, one for one, pebbles for sheep, and he could estimate the size of his flock by the size of his bag of pebbles. This method of matching was the beginning of mathematics. It has been used down through the ages, and today it has become a necessity in almost every location. It has undergone tremendous changes in substance and methods through the centuries, especially during the past one-hundred years. With mathematics came physical science. Early man's attempt to explain the deluge of happenings with which he was daily confronted was the beginning of today's many theorums and principles. Man is a curious being and he attempts to explain what he sees and what he does not see, yet believes to exist. This curiosity gave birth to modern physical science as it has before to innumerable and, consequently, other sciences. The absoluteness of mathematics and the unlimited possibilities of scientific research provide more than adequate challenge for inquisitive minds. New discoveries are always being made in pure mathematics and physical science. In fact, the scientific age we are living in brings new insight into these fields every day. At our own Weber College a person has a great opportunity to develop his knowledge and abilities. The mathematics and physical science division is well equipped to offer a broad understanding of necessary principles. The mathematics department offers a wide variety of classes with emphasis on the more advanced forms of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Matching its growth to Weber's, the mathematics department in its expansion program will offer future classes in differential equations, advanced calculus, introduction to modern algebra, foundations of geometry and matrix theory. Weber College's Department of Physical Science includes the following subdivisions: The Department of General Education for Physical Science; The Department of Chemistry; The Department of Geology and Geography; The Department of Engineeering; The Department of Pre-Architecture; The Department of Photography; The Department of Physics; and The Department of Architectural and Engineering Technology.
