GRADUATE COURSES.
M. A.
Analytical Mechanics.—This course comprises the work
in Mechanics for the M. A. degree. Free use is made of the
methods of the Infinitesimal Calculus, and only suitably-prepared
students will be admitted to it. The subjects
studied are the Dynamics of a Particle, Analytical Statics,
and the Dynamics of a Rigid Body.
Text-Books.—Williamson's Treatise on Dynamics; Tait and Steele's
Dynamics of a Particle; Todhunter's Analytical Statics; Pirie's Rigid
Dynamics. For reference and parallel reading, Minchin's Statics; Routh's
Rigid Dynamics, and Routh's Analytical Statics.
PH. D.
Graduate work is offered also to candidates for the Ph. D.
degree and other students of Advanced Mathematics. The
subjects offered for 1897-98 will be the Theory of Elasticity,
and the Theory of Attractions. Extended courses of reading
are prescribed, lectures will be delivered on special
topics, and investigations will be planned and carried out
in the Mechanical Laboratory.
