COURSE OF STUDY. 201 Mathematics. Algebra. Geometry. Physiology. Algebra. Geometry. Science. Algebra. Geometry. Botany. Physics. Zoology. Physics. Students must choose from the above list such studies as they require for their chosen courses in the University, taking those under each head in the order given, except the optional languages and sciences. (See requirements for admission, p. 182.) GENERAL PLAN OF INSTRUCTION. ALGEBRA. Rapidity and accuracy in all operations is rigidly required. Special emphasis is laid upon the use of purely literal expressions, radicals, fractional and negative exponents, and upon the fundamental nature of the equation. Wells's Higher Algebra. By terms the work is divided as follows: 1. Fundamental processes, factoring, divisors, and multiples, fractions, and simple equations, with one and two 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, the progressions, etc. BOTANY. This is a study of plants rather than of books about plants, although books are not disregarded. It is an introduction to the science, giving to those who go farther in it a general acquaintance with the chief features of the vegetable kingdom, and to others, the required preparations for future work. The analysis of simple flowers forms a part of the work, and the preparation of a small herbarium of correctly named and properly mounted plants is required. Bastin's Elements of Botany, with any standard manual.
