and tensors. Second term: Invariants and covariants of polynomials, particularly
of bilinear forms and of quadratic forms. Third term: One-to-one
quadratic transformations and an introduction to contact transformations. Numerous
applications will be made to analytical geometry, projective geometry,

non-Euclidean geometry and mechanics. Hours by appointment. Associate Professor

one of the courses C2 and C3 will be given in any one year.

Mathematics C4: Projective Geometry: An introductory course. Hours
by appointment. Professor Luck.

Mathematics D1: Mathematics C1 and a reading knowledge of German
prerequisite.—Differential Geometry: This course opens with a brief study of
ordinary differential equations from the Lie group standpoint and continues with
a study of the metric differential properties of plane and space curves and of
surfaces, including important curve families on suriaces such as lines of curvature,
asymptotic curves, geodesics, etc. Hours by appointment. Professor Luck.

Mathematics D2: Mathematics C1, prerequisite.—Ordinary and partial differential
equations. Hours by appointment. Professor Page.

Mathematics D3: Mathematics C1 and C2, prerequisite.—Analysis (Functions
of real variables). The course will begin with a study of the definitions of
the seven algebraic operations and of the limit of a sequence. Continuous, differentiable
or integrable functions of real variables will then be defined through
the use of the limits of sequences and their important properties deduced from
these definitions. The third term will be devoted to a study of some particular
transcendental functions of real variables. Great emphasis will be laid throughout
the course on detailed rigorous proof. Hours by appointment. Associate
Professor Linfield.

Mathematics D4: Mathematics C1 and D3, prerequisite.—Theory of functions
of a complex variable. Vector Analysis. Hours by appointment. Professor
Echols.
