'Students in the first honor section complete the regular work in
Mathematics and in Physics during the first two terms, and take in the
third term Vector Analysis (Ma 14) and Modern Physics (Ph 3). Students
in the first honor section do not take Mathematics Review (Ma 2d) and
Physics Review (Ph 2d).
tStudents not in the first honor section take in the first 7 weeks of the
third term Physics Ph 2c (8 units) and Mathematics Ma 2c (8 units), and
in the last 3 weeks Physics Review Ph 2d (4 units) and Mathematics
Review Ma 2d (4 units). A condition in either of these review subjects,
unless made up in September, excludes the student from all third-year
subjects for which these are prerequisite. To assist students in making
up conditions, and to aid students transferring from other colleges who
may not have had such intensive courses as those of the Institute, each
of these subjects will be offered as a summer course (with a fee of $20)
during the 3 weeks preceding the opening of the fall term, provided not
less than six students apply for it.
tStudents take Qualitative Analysis (Ch 12c) if they are preparing for
the Option in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering; Organic Chemistry
(Ch 43) if preparing for the Option in Experimental Physics or Biology;
Surveying (CE 1) if preparing for the Option in Geology; Theory of Equations
(Ma 3) if preparing for the Option in Mathematics or Theoretical
Physics. Non-honor students are admitted to the Mathematics Option
only by special vote of the Committee on Science Courses. Students in
the Geology Option substitute for the 3rd term Mathematics, Descriptive
Geometry (D 42) and Crystallography (Ge 3a).
