MATH VOCABULARY 102

Do you ever wonder why Math people are so confused? Sure, they think differently: they have analytical minds. The confusion that comes with math vocabulary is enough to drive anyone crazy. Onlv a math mind would have to DIFFERENTIATE between a RADICAL EXPRESSION and a political extremist; where INEQUALITY has nothing to do with sociaio-economic injustice; or to RECIPROCATE has nothing to do with returning favors (unless, of course, you are RATIONALIZING).

Yet, there is hope! A DISCRETE island where all are treated with EQUALITY and given the time for REFLECTION and SIMPLIFICATION. No, we are not referring to the great Math Class in the sky - we speak merely of the second floor - MATH LAB! Where we take knowledge to the highest EXPONENT - yea, to INFINITY.

INTEGRATE your mind with ours. Your DIVIDEND will produce a MATRIX of solutions! A represenitive from MATH VOCABULARY 102 will visit your class briefly during the second week of classes, August 26-30. If your class becomes a REMAINDER, flyers will be placed in your mailbox.
