St. Jerome Institute

Our sophomore class has been hard at work in Fine Art Studio painting realistic flowers as the capstone project of their “God and Nature” year! At the same time, the seniors are also busy finishing fun, colorful, creative paintings based on a scene or photograph of their choice.

Mrs. Aujero’s Senior Mathematics class capitalized on the beautiful weather last week to take their learning to the sidewalks! Seniors end their year of calculus by studying Taylor Series. They found the Taylor Series centered at zero for cosine, sine, and the natural log.

From the SJI Mathematics Curriculum:
“It turns out that polynomials, the functions we have been studying for four years, are the basic building blocks of all functions. This is a major point and provides us with a culminating moment of not only the fourth-year curriculum, but indeed the entire mathematical experience over the last four years.”

Just for fun, the students also reviewed related rates with a problem about an expanding soap bubble while creating some soap bubbles of their own!
