55 COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. main subjects of physics. In the senior year, the student is supposed to take up some special problem for investigation and to center his laboratory work about that. An advanced mathematical course is also offered for those wishing to follow the most advanced theories and results of the science. THE MATHEMATICAL GROUP AIMS The mathematical group includes the entire offering of the University in pure-mathematics, astronomy, and physics, and has for its purpose the laying of the mathematical foundation for special work in any one of these lines, as well as an opportunity for advanced work. It is hoped that the courses offered will meet the requirements of those who need mathematics as a tool as well as those who wish to make it a specialty. Parallel to the pure mathematics two lines of associated work in applied mathematics are offered, namely: in physics and astronomy. Either of these may be taken by the student wishing to graduate from this group. The one leads through the physics of the sophomore year to the mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism, heat, light, and sound; the other through surveying to celestial mechanics, and the general and mathematical astronomy. In addition to these, a course in astronomy and physics is offered including the mathematics through the junior year, but leading to theoretical astronomy and advanced physics in the senior year.
