ni Mathematics Alaihciiiatics is the iuii(lanitiital science on which nearly e eiv study in a technical ciuriculum is based. J he nioie ad ancecl one ' s knowledge becomes in naviga- tion, engineering or science; the niore one realizes that our present mode of lite would be impossble were it not tor Etulid, Napier and others of their kind. 1 he Academy rurricuhnn in math includes two vears, the first ot which ccners the same groinid as is covered in two years by most colleges— trigonometry, college algebra, slide rule, analytical geometry and ditferential and integral calculus. In the second year engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials are considered. For the most part, cadets are well equipped to handle this accelerated program of mathematical training since their appointments are to a large degree basetl on mathe- matical ability and background. The ctficient faculty in mathematics is headed by Cap- tain Chester E. Dimick, who has retired and been called Ixick to active duty to complete the present academic year. Others on the statf are Connnander H. S. Sharp, Lt. C:. C. Hurd. Et. L. M. Kelly and Lt. (j.g.) V. G. Dver. Mr. I) er replaces Lt. A. I,. Lanckton who has returned lo ( i ilian cniplox incnt. C:.
