THE MATHEMATICAL GROUP III THE MATHEMATICAL GROUP AIMS The mathematical group aims to lay the mathematical foundation for special work in any one of three lines, as well as to offer 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 of 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 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.
