Show PAGE 36 WEBER ACADEMY Mathematics g (Trigonometry).Treatment is given of the trigonometric functions of acute angles, and solution of right triangles, logarithms, functions of oblique triangle, and general trigonometric analysis. Prerequisite, Mathematics a, b, c, d and e. Five hours per week second semester. (Not given in 1915-16). Education. Educational Psychology.A discussion of the organizations which are developed in the nervous system and in consciousness through school training, and of the facts of learning in general, including memory practice, formal discipline, etc. The chief types of mental processes will also be classified and defined. Five hours per week first semester. Principles of Education.A study of the meaning, scope and aim of education. Methods of learning involved in various school subjects; corresponding methods of teaching. Five hours per week second semester. Physical Science. General Science.The purpose of this course is to arouse an interest in the study of science. The subjects of physics, chemistry, meteorology, botany, zoology, physiology, astronomy, physiography, forestry, and agriculture are treated in an elementary manner with the view of leading the student to find out for himself which sciences he wishes to study later in his course. Numerous experiments will be performed to illustrate the subjects studied. Snyder's First Year Science is the text used. Three hours per week throughout the year. WEBER ACADEMY PAGE 37 Geology.The course involves a study of dynamical and structural geology with special reference to the developments of land forms. Special attention will be given to the geology of Utah and to the coal and ore deposits in the western states. Several field trips during the autumn months, and the collection and the determination of the more common rocks, minerals and ores are important features of the course. Blackwelder and Barrow's Elements of Geology with collateral reading. Five hours per week first semester. Physics.A study of elementary mechanics and the phenomena of sound, light, heat, magnetism and electricity. Lecture table experiments are performed to illustrate the principles studied. Special attention is given to laboratory work. Each student is required to keep a laboratory note book in which his observations and results are recorded. Visits will be made to power houses. Three hours recitation and four hours laboratory work per week throughout the year. Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics and Millikan's Laboratory Manual. Chemistry.The fundamental theories of chemistry and the non-metallic and the more common metallic elements are studied. The balancing of equations, the solving of problems and the practical applications of chemistry receive considerable attention. During the spring term the more common organic compounds are studied. Visits are made to the sugar factory, cement and gas plants. For the benefit of Domestic Science students who pursue the study of chemistry a laboratory course in household chemistry will be given the second semester, provided a sufficient number apply for the same. Morgan and Lyman's Elementary Chemistry is the text used. Morgan and Lyman's Laboratory Manual and Blanchard's Labora- |
