Fascinating Matf

Use of everyday materials in the
study of mathematics is one of the
m aior features of mathematics
courses taught by Professor Luther
Shelter at Bluffton college.
Visual aids are being emphasized
to give a clearer understanding of
mathematical principles.
Such usually insignificant items as
a pine cone and cauliflower are
used in the demonstration of spirals
where each number is the sum of the
two preceding numbers. Shelter
explains that the cauiflower is of
special interest because each clump
is made up of smaller clumps and
each clump is tiny model of the en-
tire head.
He also uses pineapples and sun

That evening at the testimonial
