MATHEMATICS.
Mathematics 1. [Page.]
In Trigonometry, a complete course in Plane and Spherical Trigonometry
is pursued with constant drill in the solution of problems, and
exercises in the use of logarithms.
In Algebra, the work begins with the Progressions and proceeds with
the study of the Binomial Formula, Convergence and Divergence of
Series. The study of Inequalities and Determinants prepares for the
Theory of Equations with which the course is closed.
In elementary Analytical Geometry the study of Cartesian and
Polar Coördinates is followed by numerous exercises on the graphical
representation of equations. Special attention is given to the straight
line and the representation of the general equation of the first degree
in two variables. The course is intended to prepare for the fuller
study of the Analytical Geometry of the conic sections. Lectures, 9-10,
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Mathematics 2. [Echols].
The subject matter of this course consists of the Analytical Geometry
of the Conic Sections beginning with the circle; Differential Calculus;
Integral Calculus. It is expected to conclude the work in Analytical
Geometry early in November and then to take up the Differential Calculus
which is discussed until the March examinations. The last term of the
session is devoted exclusively to the Integral Calculus. Applicants for
advanced standing must pass a written examination on the topics of
Mathematics 1. Lectures, 12-1, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
