DESCRIPTION OF COURSE OF STUDY Department of Mathematics. The Work of this department has at least five very important aims in view: 1. To give an understanding of the processes and forms of expression in the several subjects. 2. To secure exactness and speed in the operation- 3 To train the pupi1's perception of features of prime im- portance, his ability to exercise individual judgement and reas- oning. and his power to select logical steps in a demonstration. 4. To show the value in each subject in its relation to prac- tical or business life. 5. To make the pupil a self-reliant factor in life. To accomplish these purposes, four divisions of mathema- tical science are used: Book-keeping, Algebra, Geometry and Arithmetic. Algebra The text in Algebra has not been chosen. For the completion of this work three semesters are given- As much as can be thoroughly mastered, is taken in the first year- The work is finished during the First semester ofthe third year! Geometry Second year, entire year- Text: Sanders Plane Geometry. The pupil is expected to have completed the work in mathematics offered during the first year before entering this class. During the first semester the first two books of the text are completed, and the text is finished during the second half of the year. In Geometry, the process of reasoning is emphasized. The demonstration is made not so much for the Q, E. D- as for exercise or imagination, individual thinking, for discipline in analysis, and formal statements of steps by which the conclusions are reached. If time permits and there is a demand a class in solid Geom- etry will be organized. This will be elective, but the workin Plane Geometry is required of all students for graduation- Physical Science Fourth year. Text: I-Ioadley's Elements of Physics- In order to enter this class the pupil must have completed ,,,,,
