Math Gems

Derrivatives, exponentials, and tangents! Oh my! If these terms have your head spinning, worry not. Clarence, Iria, and Marizel are here to help. These sophomores know their way around a math book and a calculator. Clarence will be assisting Dr. Protomastro, Iria will be assisting Dr. Hammett, and Marizel will be assisting Dr. Picarelli this year.
