Show 64 ANNUAL CATALOGUE Mathematics Merlon L Stevenson Garnett Littlefield Robert Clarke It is recommended that a student pursuing a mojor in Mathematics complete Mathematics 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. A student pursuing a teaching major in Mathematics should refer to the Secondary Education Curriculum. 1. Advanced Algebra. A brief review of the elementary principles of algebra: quadratic equations, fractional equations, exponents and radicals, ratio, variation and proportion, progression, and binominal theorem. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter. Littlefield, Clarke 2. Solid Geometry. A course dealing with lines and planes in space, polyhedrons, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Five quarter hours. Winter. Clarke S. Trigonometry. A course dealing with trigonometric functions, solution of right angles, logarithms, solution of oblique triangles, applications and general trigonometric analysis. Five quarter hours. Winter, Spring. Littlefield, Clarke 4. College Algebra. Advanced work in the fundamental principles of Algebra. Prerequisite: Mathematics 1. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter.

Prerequisites: Mathematics 2, 3, and 4. Five quarter hours. Winter. Clarke 6. Analytic Geometry. A continuation of Mathematics 5, dealing with empirical equations, an introduction into solid analytic geometry, lines, planes, and special surfaces in space. Prerequisites: Mathematics 5. Five quarter hours. Spring. Clarke 7. Calculus. A general course in differential calculus treating limits, differentiation, and geometric interpretations. Prerequisites: Mathematics 2, 4, 5, and 6. Five quarter hours. Autumn. Stevenson 8. Calculus. A continuation of Mathematics 7, dealing with indefinite and definite integrals, together with their applications. Prerequisite: Mathematics 7. Five quarter hours. Winter. Stevenson 9. Calculus. A continuation of Mathematics 8, with an introduction to ordinary differential equations. Prerequisites: Mathematics 7 and 8. Five quarter hours. Spring. Stevenson 10. Analytic Geometry. A short course designed primarily for those Engineering students who are unable to qualify for Mathematics 5 in time for the Winter Quarter. Prerequisites: Mathematics 2, 3, and 4. (This course will not apply toward a Mathematics major.) Five quarter hours. Spring. Clarke WEBER COLLEGE 65 12. A Survey Course in Mathematics. A unified course dealing with the essentials of algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and an introduction to calculus. Recommended that Mathematics 1 or 4 precede this course. Five quarter hours. Winter. (Not given 1937-1938.) 15. Elementary Statistical Methods. An introduction into mathematical theories and applications of statistics. Recommended that Mathematics 1 or 4 precede this course. Five quarter hours. Spring. Clarke Physics Charles Anson Osmond It is recommended that a student pursuing a major in Physics complete Physics 4, 5, 6, and Mathematics 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. 1. General Physics. A course adapted to the needs of the non-science student. It is especially recommended for students not interested in mathematics but who desire a knowledge of every-day science. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. Five quarter hours. Autumn. Osmond 2. General Physics. A study of the fundamentals of electricity, radio, light, and sound. No prerequisites. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. Five quarter hours. Winter. Osmond 3. Meteorology. A course designed to give a general knowledge of the physics of the atmosphere. Five quarter hours. Winter, Spring. Osmond 4. General Physics. A course designed especially for Engineering students. Deals largely with mechanics. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. Five quarter hours. Autumn. Osmond 5. General Physics. A continuation of Physics 4, dealing chiefly with dynamics, heat, and sound. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. Five quarter hours. Winter. Osmond 6. General Physics. A continuation of Physics 5, including a study of magnetism, electricity, and radiation. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. Five quarter hours. Spring. Osmond 10. Survey Course in Physics. A survey course having for its fundamental purpose the welfare of the non-science student who is interested in the interpretation of his immediate physical environment. The course is conducted by means of demonstrations and visual instructions rather than through the medium of mathematical processes. Every day contact with principles of mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, radio, etc. is made. Five quarter hours. Spring. Osmond 14. General Astronomy. A course treating the physics of heavenly bodies: constellations, planets, satellites, etc. Special stress is placed on the earth, sun, and moon as astronomical bodies. Five quarter hours. Autumn.
