Pure Mathematics 1. [Page, IX.]

The Fall Term is given to a vigorous review of Solid Geometry,
the Winter Term to Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, the Spring
Term to Higher Algebra (Series, Determinants, Theory of Equations,
and the Solution of Numerical Equations of the higher degrees).
Numerous original exercises are set for solution. The class is subdivided
into sections, so that every student receives constant and
vigorous drill. Those who show defective preparation in the daily
orals and monthly written tests are required to take extra review
lessons with the instructors. The ordinary High School course in
Solid Geometry is not an equivalent for the work of the Fall Term in
this class. Students who venture to omit this often fail in Descriptive
Geometry.
