I. Pure Mathematics
Junior Class.—Theory of Arithmetical Notation and Operations,
Algebra, Geometry, Geometrical Analysis, Elementary Plane Trigonometry,
with the use of logarithmic tables. The preparation desirable for
this class is the thorough study of Arithmetic, of Algebraic operations
through Equations of the Second Degree, and of Plane Geometry.
Text-books:—A portion of Todhunter's Algebra, Venable's Legendre's Geometry,
Todhunter's Trigonometry for Beginners.
Intermediate Class.—Plane and Spherical Trigonometry with applications,
Analytical Geometry of two dimensions, the elements of the
Theory of Equations. The preparation desirable for this class is the
study of Algebra, Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry, with the use of
logarithmic tables.
Text-books:—Snowball's Trigonometry, Puckle's Conic Sections.
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:—The Professor's Syllabus of Solid Geometry, Courtenay's Calculus,
Todhunter's Differential Calculus, Todhunter's Theory of Equations, Williamson's Integral
Calculus.
In the Junior Class there are three lectures a week; in the Intermediate
Class, two lectures a week; in the Senior Class, three lectures a week.
