Primarily for Undergraduates.
Course 1B: General Mechanics: Mathematics 1A prerequisite.—
This course, which comprises the work in Mechanics for the B. A. elective,
is of a fundamental character. Elementary mathematical methods are
employed, but no student is prepared to begin it who has not acquired a
sound working knowledge of Algebra, Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry,
with the rudiments of Analytical Geometry: Course 2B in Pure Mathematics
must also be taken parallel with this course, unless the student
already possesses a fair knowledge of the Infinitesimal Calculus. The work
is distributed over the three terms of the session, as follows:
First Term—General Introduction to Mechanics.
Second Term—Statics, graphical and analytical.
Third Term—Elementary Hydrostatics.
