SCHOOL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS.

Professor Thornton.

The work of this School is divided between the Academic and the Engineering
Departments. In the former the following courses are offered, each of three lectures
a week:

B. A. COURSE.

General Mechanics.—In this course, which comprises the work in Mechanics
for the B. A. degree, the subjects studied are Statics, Strength of Materials,
Graphical Statics, Hydrostatics, the Elementary Dynamics of a Particle, and of a
Rigid Body. Elementary mathematical methods are employed; but no student is
prepared to undertake the course who has not a sound working knowledge of
Algebra, Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry, with the elements of Analytical
Geometry.

Text-Books.—Glazebrook's Mechanics; Jacoby's Graphical Statics; Greene's
Structural Mechanics; Lectures.

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 1898-99 will be the
Theory of Ela-ticity 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.

Text-Books.—Love's Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity; Routh's
Analytical Statics; Minchin's Statics. For reference: Théorie de l'Elasticité des
Corps Solides de Clebsch, traduite par Saint-Venant et Flamant.
