II. Practical Physics.

This course is for students preparing to become teachers of science, or
desiring to push their studies in Physics beyond the limits of the undergraduate
course. The instruction is partly theoretical and partly experimental,
embracing the following topics:

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

Experimental.—In this, the main portion of the course, the student will
learn physical manipulation, and the use of instruments by actual practice in
the Physical Laboratory. (1.) Lecture-room Apparatus and Lecture-room
Experiments. (2) Physical Measurements and "Instruments of Precision."

Text-books.—Merriman's Method of Least Squares; Kohlrausch's Physical Measurements.
