It would be impossible to enter on a detailed criticism either of these lectures or of the essays mentioned in the note above which evidently imply great study. We invite a comparison with the French plan, which we have given elsewhere, but the difference of age must be taken into account. The mathematical course at this school is,—
1st year. Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Quadratic Equations, involving several unknown quantities, the Binomial Theorem, and the Elements of Analytical and Solid Geometry.
2d year. Analytical Geometry and the Differential and Integral Calculus.
3d year. Mechanics, Statics, Dynamics, Projectiles, and slight Applications.
Only the first year is obligatory.
