Body, Dynamics of Machines, Hydraulics, and Thermodynamics.
Text-Books.—Lectures on Dynamics by the Professor; Bovey's Hydraulics;
Peabody's Thermodynamics.
PH. D.
For candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, two courses
are offered.
1. Analytical Mechanics.—Minchin's Statics, Williamson's Dynamics,
Routh's Rigid Dynamics.
