MATHEMATICS
Note: Only one course in A Mathematics will be given credit toward
any baccalaureate degree.
Mathematics A1: Mathematics A1, A2 and B of the entrance requirements
prerequisite.—Students with high school credit for solid geometry not admitted.
First term: Trigonometry. Second term: Solid geometry. Third term: College
algebra. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)
Professor Luck, Mr. Wells, Mr. Aylor and Mr. Blincoe.
Mathematics A2: Sec. 1: (Special section designed for students who intend
to pursue Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics or Chemistry beyond first-year
courses, and who are prepared to take a more extensive course than the
regular A2 course.) Mathematics A1, A2, B, C, and D of the entrance requirements
and Professor Luck's permission prerequisite.—First term: Selected topics
from trigonometry and algebra. Second and third terms: Analytical geometry
with related topics of algebra. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)
Professor Luck.
All students with prerequisite preparation who expect to pursue Mathematics,
Astronomy, Physics or Chemistry beyond first-year courses are urged
to apply for admission to this course.
Mathematics A2: Mathematics A1, A2, B, and C of the entrance requirements
prerequisite.—First term: Trigonometry. Second and third terms: Analytical
geometry with related topics of college algebra. (B.A. or B.S. credit,
3 session-hours.)
Professor Luck, Mr. Wells, Mr. Aylor and Mr. Blincoe.
Mathematics A4: Mathematics A1, A2, and B of the entrance requirements
prerequisite.—First term: Graphical algebra and logarithms. Second and third
terms: College algebra with applications to the mathematics of finance. (B.S. in
Commerce credit, 3 session-hours.) This course is required for B.S. in Commerce.
Associate Professor Hulvey and Mr. Wells.
Mathematics B1: Mathematics A1 prerequisite.—First and second terms:
Analytical geometry of two dimensions. Third term: Analytical geometry of
three dimensions. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)
Professor Echols.
Mathematics B2: Mathematics A2 or B1 prerequisite.—A preliminary study
of the differential and integral calculus. With application to Geometry and
Kinematics. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)
Professor Echols.
Mathematics C1: Mathematics B2 prerequisite.—First term: Analytical
geometry of three dimensions and spherical trigonometry by the use of elementary
vector operations, like sealor products and vector products, and elementary functions
of matrices, like inverse and transpose. Second term: Advanced differential
calculus, including partial differentiation, gradients, Taylor's formula, etc.
Third term: Differential equations.
Associate Professor Linfield.
Mathematics C2: Higher Algebra: Mathematics B2 prerequisite.—Operations
with vectors, matrices, determinants and invariants, and their applications
to analytical geometry, projective geometry, non-Euclidean geometry and
mechanics.
Associate Professor Linfield.
Mathematics C3: Higher Geometry: Mathematics C2 prerequisite.—Algebraic
plane curves; circle and sphere geometry; line geometry, including differential
alternate years with Mathematics C5. (Offered in 1934-35.)
Associate Professor Linfield.
Mathematics C4: Projective Geometry: An introductory course. Hours
by appointment.
Professor Luck.
