...Math. 1 covers the more elementary parts of the Differential and Integral Calculus; and it is designed to give a practical familiarity with the ordinary methods and leading principles of that subject. It constitutes the introduction to the higher Mathematics; and hence is the first elective to be taken by those who mean to pursue a mathematical course, and at the same time is a good supplement to the Freshman work for general students. This elective is required for Honors in Physics, being essential to a thorough theoretical knowledge of that science...
...Math. 2 is an advanced course in Analytic Geometry. Salmon's Conic Sections, one of the best mathematical text-books in any language, is used in connection with lectures. This course is generally found harder than 1, and students who mean to take the two electives in successive years are advised to take 1 first. Course 2 may be followed...
...Math. 3 is intended, in the first place, for students who wish to keep up a year of elective Mathematics, but prefer to confine themselves to the applications of the elementary branches. This course is also especially useful to students of Astronomy, and may advantageously be taken by mathematical students in addition to some of the more theoretical courses. General students will do well to take 1, 2, and 3, or two of them, in successive years...
...Math. 4 is a continuation of the required course primarily intended for candidates for Second-Year Honors...
...Math. 5 is a continuation of 1. It is a combination of Courses 5 and 6 in the scheme of the current year, made with the intention of giving more space to the practical methods. This course should be taken by all who desire to gain a real and permanent mastery of the Calculus...
