Professor J. M. Peirce will give Mathematics 7a, on Triangular, Co-ordinates of Points and Lines in a Plane, and 9a, on The Application of Quaternions to the Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies. Two new courses on the planets and higher geometry will be given by Mr. Whittemore and Mr. Coolidge respectively. Three courses in this department will be dropped and sixteen omitted...
Professor J. M. Peirce offers course 7a (triangular co-ordinates: algebraic plane curves; cubies); course 8 (dynamics of rigid bodies) as a full course; course 9b (a new course on the application of quaternions to the theory of enrves and surfaces); course 20a (linear associative algebra). Professor Byerly offers course 20b (a new course on recent contributions to the ellipsoidal harmonie analysis). Professor Osgood offers either course 14b2 (Galois's theory of equations) or course 17hf. (theory of functions, advanced course). Professor Bocher offers course 30 (a newly arranged full course of linear differential equations, total and partial). Dr. Bouton...
