MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY.
Pure Mathematics.
The work in mathematics prescribed for students in ENGINEERING
and architecture, in general, takes one year. It presupposes a
good knowledge of plane and solid geometry, of elementary and
advanced algebra, and of plane and spherical trigonometry ; and it
consists of elementary courses in analytic geometry and the calculus.
For students in arts and SCIENCES all work in mathematics is
elective, and this work may be roughly divided into elementary
courses and advanced courses.
The elementary courses are in solid geometry, elementary and ad
