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 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.
