Regarding the headline, I can't figure out what the apostrophe is doing there.

Parents ARE integral to... would be the complete sentence version of it, the way I read it. (In other words, "The parents of students are essential to...)

hi, Grammar Geek

First I apologize for the mistake I made. There isn't apostrophe in the sentence. The news is from http://www.radiojamaica.com/news/story.php?category=2&story=24589

Do you mean integral is an adj. Have you ever used integral as an Noun.?

Have you ever used integral as a noun?

Yes, in calculus class. That funny s-looking shape.

Yes, in calculus class. That funny s-looking shape.

Ugh, bad memories... [shudder]. The reason the "s-looking shape" is used is because integration is just a summation (remember Riemann integrals?).

I went to a school known for engineering. Our "fight song" was the chant:

e to the x, dy, dx e to the x, dx

Cosine, secant, tangent, sine

Three point one four one five nine

Square root, cube root, log of pi

Dis-intigrate them, RPI.

Embarrassing, huh? They have since acquired a "real" mascot, but at the time they were "The Engineers." So we'd stand there shouting "Let's go Engineers!" And the mascot was a giant red and white striped bumble bee. How intimidating is that to an opposing team, I ask you?!

So yes, I remember calculus. Computing the volume of solids in three dimentional space was interesting, but no longer part of my life.

On the contrary, I would indeed be quite scared.
