II. Practical Physics.

This course is for students preparing to become teachers of science,
and for those who, for other reasons, desire to push their studies in
Physics beyond the limits of the under-graduate course. The instruction
is partly theoretical and partly experimental, embracing the following
topics:

1st. Theoretical.—Reduction of observations. Graphical representation
of results. Interpolation. Method of Least Squares. Essays on
prescribed Physical topics.

2nd. Experimental.—In this, the main portion of the course, the
student will learn physical manipulation, and the use of instruments by
actual practice.

(1), Lecture-room Apparatus and Lecture-room Experiments.

(2), Physical measurements and "instruments of precision." Cathetometer.
Spherometer. Dividing Engine. Goniometer. Balance. Syren.
Monochord. Revolving Mirror. Photometer. Microscope. Spectroscope.
Diffraction-bench. Polariscope. Electrometer. Galvanometer.
Magnetometer. Meteorological instruments, with daily use of the same.

Text-books:—Chauvenet—"Method of Least Squares;" Kohlrausch—"Physical
Measurements."
