enrollment in
most of these courses beyond
the sophomore year, the more
advanced courses have not been
covered.
The following are the -opinions
of .students on the courses
offered by six University science
departments :
Dr. Archibald Henderson,
head of the mathematics depart
ment, outlined the purposes of
the mathematics courses as
threefold. The primary objec
tive is cultural. All mathemat
ics is to be interpreted as a
course in philosophy, or in a
larger sense, a course in ab
stract logic, which, in turn, must
be interpreted as the most ac
curate logic that life offers.
Although it probably will not
pear in everyday life.
' All knowledge which is truly
accurate, according to Hender
son, has mathematics as a ba
sis. For all engineering, astron
omy, physics, and chemistry, a
thorough knowledge of mathe
matics is necessary.
Mathematics 1-2. The course
in required freshman mathe
matics undertakes to make a
systematic study of the notion
of functions, but it is consider
ably restrained from, accom
plishing its purpose by the poor
ly published, inaccurate mathe
matics book which uses highly
involved and incomprehensible
language. Not understandable
under Dr. Hobbs. Minimum of
homework required with Pro
fessors Lasley and Brown. Dr.
Mackie is most popular for the
course.
Mathematics 1E-2E. Required
of freshmen in the engineering
school. Both these trigonom
etry courses are difficult, espe
daily spherical trigonometry.
