Applied Mathematics 2. [Thornton. X.]
The studies of this class furnish an introduction to Theoretical
and Applied Mechanics. The Fall Term is given to a course in
General Mechanics, in which the fundamental doctrines of motion,
force, and energy are developed and applied to the study of the
simpler problems in the Statics and Dynamics of material particles
and rigid bodies. In the Winter Term the general method of Graphical
Statics is developed and applied to the study of the strength of materials
and to the analysis of engineering structures. In the Spring
Term a course is given in Hydrostatics in which the fundamental
propositions concerning the equilibrium and pressure of fluids are
carefully developed and applied to a series of important problems.
The elementary principles of Hydraulics are also taught.
