Physics C2: Heat and Electricity: Physics B1 and Mathematics B1 prerequisite.—A
working knowledge of elementary calculus is needed and, in
the cases of those students who do not possess this knowledge, additional
instruction is provided. Professor Hoxton.

Physics C3: Physical Measurements: The preparation for this course
is the same as for course C2. Theory of errors and precision of measurement.
Use of important instruments of precision. The specialized portions
of the course are mainly in the fields of heat and electricity. Professor
Hoxton.

Physics D1: Elements of Mathematical Physics: This course deals with
subjects such as potential theory, heat conduction, wave motion, hydrodynamics
and elasticity, whose treatment depends upon the solution of partial
differential equations. An introduction to vector methods is included. Required
of all candidates for the doctorate. Professor Hoxton.

Physics D2: Advanced Dynamics: Professor Sparrow.

Physics D3: Kinetic Theory of Gases: (Given in 1925-26.) Professor
Hoxton.

Physics D4: Theories of Atomic Structure: (Given in 1925-26.) Professor
Sparrow.

Physics D5: Advanced Optics: Professor Sparrow.

Physics D6: Electrodynamics: (Given in 1925-26.) Professor Sparrow.

Seminary: The faculty and advanced students meet weekly for the discussion
of current research problems in some special field of Physics. In
the last two years problems of atomic structure and of cosmical Physics were
discussed.

Journal Meeting: The faculty and advanced students meet weekly for
the presentation and discussion of recent work in physical sciences.

The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a substantially constructed building,
whose ground plan covers about 7,200 square feet. In addition to the ordinary
facilities such as water, gas, electricity, storage battery, etc., there is
an exceptionally complete stock of demonstration apparatus, a liquid air
plant, a 21½ ft. concave grating on a Rowland mounting, photographic
dark rooms and an instrument shop for the repair and construction of scientific
apparatus. A good working departmental library is housed in the
building.
