1981-1982 Academic Catalog

98 Professors: Donald P. Baumann, Chairman; Daniel E. Wetzel, Larry S. Helmick Associate Professor: Lawrence N. Killian Assistant Professors: Edwin S. Braithwaite, Terry L. Phipps, John E. Silvius, Dennis R. Flentge Part-Time Faculty: Austin D. Elmore, Professor Emeritus, L. Bert Frye The Department of Science and Mathematics is comprised of biology, chemistry and physics, and mathematics. This department aims to acquaint the student with the field of science and to aid him in developing clear and orderly thinking processes through the use of the techniques of science and mathe– matics. The department seeks to help the student to appreciate the facts of creation as studied in the physical and natural sciences. The depatiment has as objectives to prepare students for gradu– ate study or for further professional study in the health sciences; to prepare secondary teachers of science with a Biblical perspective of science; to serve in other types of employment. Experience has shown a major in mathematics to be unique preparation for semi– nary. Requirements for Major in Biology.
