...regarded as the summing up of pure Mathematics, for it finds a use for the most advanced methods of analysis, and thus has had much to do in stimulating and shaping mathematical progress. Its object is the development of the theory of force and motion in the most general mathematical forms. The previous study of Physics 1 is an advantage in this course, but not a necessity.

The object is to enable men to read Philosophy in Latin; and although the tenets in the various schools are not the main object of the course, they will be brought in constantly...
