IC Department of Mathematics. fc H. H. JoURNEY, Instructor. As there exists in the mind a capacity for measuring, the object in the work in mathematics is to satisfy this. i' Power to measure comes largely through the ability to reason well, and so, much emphasis is placed upon the reasoning in various steps. The practical appli- cation is always sought. . The courses here offered are sufficiently extensive for admission into any of the colleges and universities of Indiana. FIRST YEAR-First Term. Algebra. Second Term. Algebra. SECOND YEAR-First Term. Algebra. A Second Term. Algebra. 1 Remarks:-Much stress is laid upon factoring, theory of exponents, quadratics and the use of the equation. In this course the application of Physics and the ad- vanced work in mathematics is kept in view. The student observes three steps in attacking a problem, lst, Construction, 2nd, Equation or Problem, and 3rd, Solution. and finds but little difficulty in making the transition lto lst, Data, 2nd, To prove. and 3rd, Proof of Geometry.

Remarks.-In Geometry logical thinking, accurate. terse expression. and a skillful use ot' its terms are sought. Since tieoinetry has in it so much of the practical, inany original expressions are given to bring out this phase.
