II. Mixed Mathematics.
This course is designed for those students who may desire to prosecute
their studies beyond the limits of Pure Mathematics. It embraces
an extended course of reading under the instruction and guidance of
the Professor on the applications of the Differential and Integral Calculus
to Mechanics, Physical Astronomy, and selected portions of Physics.
The class in Mixed Mathematics meets twice a week (3 hours).
Text-books.—Price's Infinitesimal Calculus, Vols. II. and III.; Cheyne's Planetary Theory.
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 progress of the student in each class is tested
constantly by his being called upon to apply the principles acquired to
the independent solution of selected problems.
