GRADUATE COURSES.

M. A.

Advanced Mechanics.—This course comprises the work in Mechanics
for the M. A. degree. Free use is made of the methods of the Infinitesimal
Calculus, and only suitably prepared students will be admitted to
it. The subjects studied are the Dynamics of a Particle, and of a Rigid
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.

2. Theory of Elasticity.—Love's Treatise on the Mathematical
Theory of Elasticity. Clebsch's Theory of the Elasticity of Solid
Bodies (Saint Venant's edition).
