Mixed Mathematics.
This course is designed for those students who may desire to prosecute
their studies beyond the limits of the Pure Mathematics. It embraces
Applications of the Differential and Integral Calculus to selected
portions of Mechanics, Physics, and Physical Astronomy. There is one
class in Mixed Mathematics.
Text-Books.—Price's Infinitesimal Calculus, Vols. III and IV.
In the class of Mixed Mathematics there are two Lectures each week.
The instruction in each class in the School of Mathematics is conveyed
partly by lectures and partly by the systematic study of approved
text-books. The student is assisted by full and frequent explanations
from the Professor, and constantly subjected to rigid examinations. The
progress of the student in each class is also tested by his being required
to perform written exercises, in which the principles acquired are applied
to the solution of particular problems.
Any student entering the school has the privilege of attending all or
any of the classes, and if prepared to enter an advanced class, may often
find it highly advantageous to review his previous studies by attendance
on a lower class also.
