2 "Continental Classroom" Paul Clifford, of Montclair (N. J. ) State College, who will be associated with Dr. Mosteller in teaching the course, spoke today of some areas of business which are most influenced by mathematics. Among them, he said, are: quality control (an area in which Mr. Clifford is a nationally known expert); actuarial and underwriting work; and design and programming of electronic data processing equip¬ ment . It is expected that many companies will encourage their technically trained employees to watch or participate in the Probabil¬ ity and Statistics course. "Continental Classroom" was television’s pioneering effort to help repair the critical lag in qualified science instruction. It was launched in 1958-59 with a two-semester course in Atomic Age Physics. A two-semester course in Modern Chemistry was presented in 1959-60. A two-semester course in Contemporary Mathematics was the new offering for 1960-61. The current term, devoted to Modern Algebra, will end Friday, Jan. 27. (Modern Chemistry, last year’s "Continental Classroom" color broadcast course, is being repeated coast-to-coast this season via tape Monday through Friday at 6 a.m. local time.) NBC-New York, 1/4/61
