UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. SPANISH.

I. Manning's Spanish Grammar; rapid reading of modern authors; Cervantes' Don Quijote; outlines of Spanish literature. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full study, 1895-6. Professor BRUNER. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED MECHANICS. 1. Analytical Mechanics.—The mechanics of engineering, rather than that of astronomy and physics, is here considered, with a view to the future needs of the student of engineering. In addition to fixing the fundamental concepts and demonstrating the general principles of equilibrium and motion, application of principles and methods is made to numerous and varied engineering problems in such a way that the student must discriminate in the use of data and in the statement of conditions, and so obtain a working knowledge of the subject. The methods of the calculus are used whenever preferable. As mathematical processes and forms express most readily and quickly the rules and methods of work, the training in this direction is important. This subject requires a thorough working knowledge of the mathematics preceding it in the course. Outline of the subject: Nature and measure of force; composition and resolution of forces; moments; conditions of equilibrium; resultant of systems; of forces; center of gravity; moment of inertia; rectilinear and curvilinear motion, and the relation between such motion and the constraining and accelerating forces; dynamics of a rigid body; momentum and impact; work, energy, and power; mechanical advantage; friction. Bowser's Analytical Mechanics. Fall term, full study. Professor TALBOT. Required: Math. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. 2. Resistance of Materials.—In the treatment of this subject it is the aim to give the student a thorough training in the elementary principles of the mechanics of materials, to follow with such experiments and investigations in the testing laboratory as tend to verify the experimental laws, and to add such problems in ordinary engineering practice as will train the student in the use of his knowledge. Outline of the subject: Elasticity of materials; stresses and strains; expsrimental laws; working strength for different materials; resistance of pipes and riveted joints; bending and resisting moment; shear and elastic curve of cantilever, simple, restrained, and continuous beams; column formulas; torsion, and shafts; maximum internal stresses in beams; fatigue of metals; working strength
