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, with special study of the Binomial, Exponential, and Logarithmic
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 Coordinates 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.

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.
