...courses offered by the Engineering and Applied Physics and associated faculty members require mathematics through Math 20 and physics through Physics 12 as prerequisites. The courses offered (under the label engineering science) include all the undergraduate courses in applied mathematics as well as those related more closely to the applications of physics, chemistry, and biology, included are a wide diversity of topics such as computer sciences, fluid and solid mechanics, electronics, information theory, automatic control, the physics of solids, atmospheres, and oceans, water chemistry and biology. F. Karl Willenbrock Associate Dean
...rather build a better mousetrap than just conceive of the thing, perhaps Engineering and Applied Physics is for you. Both Applied Physics and Applied Math have quite similar course requirements...
...concentration is administered by a committee which draws its members primarily from engineering, applied math, math, physics and statistics. Instruction is generally by lecture, though at higher levels, there are laboratory and conference courses...
Above all, because it is new, concentration is still in the easily-changed stage. It is already good and bound to get better because of the increasing number of men and amounts of money devoted to the areas it draws from. Applied Math continues to open and growing. Anyone entering it will more likely than not set at least one precedent before he graduates...
...Trouble with Angels. Most comedies about nuns operate on the gradual-warm-up principle. The fun is controlled for a while by force of habit, but before long the sisters are gaily falling into swimming pools, wheeling school buses around as though they were Maseratis, or treating a math class like the starting line-up at Pimlico. In Angels, based on Jane Trahey's Life with Mother Superior, Mother Superior Rosalind Russell does none of these things. She wisely leaves such nonsense to lesser members of the faculty, while she herself wages a war of nerves with Hayley Mills...
