Mixed Mathematics.

This course is designed for those students who may desire to prosecute
their studies beyond the limits of the Pure Mathematics. It
embraces Applications of the Differential and Integral Calculus to

selected portions of Mechanics, Physics, and Physical Astronomy.
There is one class in Mixed Mathematics.

In the class of Mixed Mathematics there are two lectures each
week.

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 student being assisted by full and frequent
explanations from the Professor, and being constantly subjected to
rigid examinations. The progress of the student in each class is also
tested by his being required to perform written exercises, in which
the principles acquired are applied to the solution of particular
problems.

In the course of these lectures notes will be given on the methods
of instruction in Mathematics for the benefit of those students, who
desire to become teachers in this department of study.

Any student entering the school has the privilege of attending all
or any of the classes, and if prepared to enter an advanced class, may
often find it highly advantageous to review his previous studies by
attendance on a lower class also.
