Special emphasis is laid upon the use of purely literal expressions, radicals, fractional and negative exponents, and 'upon the fundamental nature of the equation. By terms, the work is divided as follows: 1. Fundamental processes, factoring, divisors, and multiples, fractions, and simple equations with one or more unknown quantities. 2. Involution and evolution, theory of exponents, radicals, and quadratic equations. 3. Theory of quadratic equations, inequalities, theory of limits, ratio and proportion, variation and the progressions. One class will review the entire subject in the fall term. If five or more apfly, a beginning class will be formed in January. BOTANY This is a study of plants rather than of books about plants, although books are not disregarded.
