II. Mixed Mathematics.
This course is designed for those students who may desire to prosecute their
studies beyond the limits of Pure Mathematics. It embraces an extended
course of reading under the instruction and guidance of the Professor on the
applications of the Differential and Integral Calculus to Mechanics, Physical
Astronomy, and selected portions of Physics. The class in Mixed Mathematics
meets once a week. A diploma of graduation is conferred in Mixed
Mathematics.
Text-books—Price's Infinitesimal Calculus, Vols. II. and III.; Cheyne's Planetary Theory.
The instruction in each class in the School of Mathematics is conveyed
partly by lectures and partly by the systematic study of approved text-books.
The progress of the student in each class is tested constantly by his being
called upon to apply the principles acquired to the independent solution of
selected problems.
