Show PAGE 40 WEBER ACADEMY Mathematics a 1, b 1 (General Mathematics). This is a culture course outlined especially for students who expect to take only one year of mathematics. The aim is to give as broad a view of the subject as is possible in the time. To accomplish this the course gives a short working course in algebra and geometry, followed by a more comprehensive course in trigonometry. This includes the fundamental algebraic operations, positive and negative numbers, the solution of simple, simultaneous, and quadratic equations, seventy-five of the more important propositions of geometry, together with constructions and exercises based upon them, the solution of righ triangles by natural functions and also by logrithms, the solution of the four cases of oblique triangles, practical applications of these principles. Daily throughout the year, one unit credit. Mathematics c, d (Plane Geometry).The general properties of rectilinear figures and circles, problems of construction, proportion, similar polygons, regular polygons, maxima and minima, illustrative problems drawn from everyday life of the pupils. Special attention is given to the development of the power of logical thinking, and of accuracy and concisement of expression. Wentworth-Smith Plane Geometry. Daily throughout the year. One unit credit. Mathematics e (Advanced Algebra).Review of the fundamental operations, demonstrations of theorems pertaining to the fundamental operations, solution of quadratics by formula, formal treatment of factoring by the factor theorem, complex fractions and fractional equations, proof of theorems on exponents and radicals, ratio, variation and proportion, logarithms, progression, the binominal theorem. Slaught and Lenns First Principles of Algebra, Part III. Daily during one semester. One-half unit credit. WEBER ACADEMY PAGE 41 High School or College. Mathematics f (Solid Geometry).Lines and planes in space, polyhedrons, cylinders, cones and spheres are taken up. Special attention is given to the practical application of the subject. Wentworth-Smith Solid Geometry. Daily during one semester. One-half unit high school or three hours college credit. 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. Daily, second semester. One-half unit high school, or three hours college credit. College. Prof. Wm. Z. Terry. Mathematics I. (Plane Analytic Geometry). Methods of co-ordinates, construction of equations, the point in plane, the circle, the parabola, the ellipse, the hyperbola, general equation of the second degree, higher plane curves, polar co-ordinates and transformation of co-ordinates. Four times per week, first semester. Three hour credits. Mathematics II. (Calculus).This is a general course in differential and intergral calculus sufficient to meet the needs of the general student who may wish to know something about this interesting subject of mathematics. It covers all the ground usually given in the first course in calculus, differentiation, functions of independent variables, applications of the calculus, maxima and minima, rationalization, integration, etc. Daily, second semester. Four hours credit. |
