ROMAN LITERARY PROSE STYLE.—Selected readings to trace in a connected manner- the characteristics of prose style under the Republic, during the time'of Augustus, and under the early Empire. MATHEMATICS 1. ADVANCED ALGEBRA.—For students in the Colleges of Agriculture, Science, Literature and Arts. Functions and their notations; series and the theory of limits; imaginary quantities; general theory of equations. Topical reviews of all preceding algebraic processes. Wells's College Algebra. Fall term, full study, and winter term, onefifth study. Mr. KETCHUM and Mr. MILNE. ADVANCED ALGEBRA.—For students in the College of Engineering. Principles of small practical value are subordinated to those of higher utility. Accuracy and dispatch in the use of principles are continually emphasized. A topical review of the principles of elementary algebra is made from time to time. This review is sometimes made by requiring students to solve practical problems illustrative of principles not well understood. Some of the most important subjects in which instruction is given are functions and their notation; the progressions; permutations and combinations; probabilities; convergency and divergency of series; summation of series; undetermined coefficients; theory of limits; logarithms and general theory of equations. Wells's College Algebra. Fall term, full study, winter term, one-fifth study. Mr. BRENKE. 2. 3. TRIGONOMETRY.—For students in the Colleges of Literature and Arts, Science, and Agriculture. Plane Trigonometry; fundamental relations between the trigonometrical functions of an angle or arc; relations between the functions of different angles or arcs; construction and use of tables; solution of triangles; angles as functions of sides, and sides as functions of angles; applications. Bowser's Trigonometry, Winter term, four-fifths study, Mr. KETCHUM and Mr. MILNE. Required: Math. 1. 4. TRIGONOMETRY.—For students in College of Engineering. The ratio system is studied chiefly, but the necessary connection between it and the line system is carefully proved and illustrated. Students are.
