Pure Mathematics.
In the course of Pure Mathematics there are three classes—Junior,
Intermediate, and Senior.
Junior Class.—Theory of Arithmetical Notation and Operations, Algebra, Geometry,
Geometrical Analysis, Elementary Plane Trigonometry. The preparation desirable
for entrance into this class is the thorough study of Arithmetic, of Algebraic
Operations through Equations of the Second Degree, and of Plane Geometry.
Intermediate Class.—Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry of
two dimensions, the Elements of Descriptive Geometry, and of the Theory of Equations.
Senior Class.—Analytical Geometry of three Dimensions, Differential and Integral
Calculus, Calculus of Variations, and Theory of Equations. Lectures are given in this
class on the History of Mathematics, and on the elements of some of the modern
Mathematical Theories.
Text Books.
Junior Class.—Todhunter's Algebra, Venable's Legendre's Geometry.
Intermediate Class.—Snowball's Trigonometry, Law's Logarithms, Puckle's
Conic Sections, Church's Descriptive Geometry.
Senior Class.—Aldis's Solid Geometry, Courtenay's Calculus, Todhunter's Differential
and Integral Calculus, Todhunter's Theory of Equations.
In the Junior Class there are three Lectures each week; in the Intermediate
Class, two Lectures each week; in the Senior Class, three
Lectures each week.
