Schurz's Lincoln. z. Plane Geometry. (3 units.) The usual theorems and constructions of elementary plane geometry, including the general properties of regular polygons, their construction, perimeters and areas, and the different methods for determining the ratio of the circumference to the diameter. The solution of original exercises, including problems in loci and applications to mensuration. 3. Elementary Algebra. (3 units.) Algebraic practice, namely, the fundamental laws of algebra, including the fundamental laws of exponents for positive and negative integers, synthetic division, the various methods of factoring, with application to the reduction of fractions and to the solution of equations (especially quadratic equations), simultaneous equations of first degree with problems involving their solution, variables and functions, especially linear functions. An important aim in this requirement should be to acquaint the pupil with the notion of functionality, mainly through the early and continuous use of graphical methods. 4a'. Algebraic Theory, Part I. (11⁄2 units). Determinants of the second and third order with their applications to the solution of linear systems of equations; synthetic division; the remainder and factor theorems; quadratic equations, both single and simultaneous (graphical as well as algebraical treatment); graphical solution of equations of higher degree than the second; fractional and negative exponents, surds, ratio and proportion; variation. 4a. Algebraic Theory, Part II. (11⁄2 units.) The progressions and other simple series; elementary theory of logarithms, with practice in computation; complex quantities (graphical as well as algebraical treatment); theory of quadratic equations; mathematical induction; the binomial theorem, at least for positive integral exponents. 4b. Intermediate Mathematics. Solid Geometry. (11⁄2 units.) Supplementary studies in plane geometry and the fundamental propositions of solid and spherical geometry, with problems in demonstration and in the mensuration of surfaces and solids. The ability to apply geometry to practical problems is important in this requirement. 5. History and Government of the United States. Either of the following two courses may be offered in satisfaction of the 3 units of history required for matriculation: 5ab. History and Government of the United States. (3 units.) 5a. History of the United States. (3 units.) The following three courses may be offered as elective credit for matriculation but not in satisfaction of the required three units in history: 5b. Government of the United States. A full years' work. (3 units.) 5b1. Government of the United States. A half year's work. (11⁄2 units.) 5a'. History of the United States. A half year's work. (11⁄2 units.) Latin. In the matriculation examinations special stress will be laid on the student's ability to translate passages of Latin previously unseen. Every examination on prescribed reading will contain also one or more passages for translation at sight; and the candidate must deal satisfactorily with both parts of the paper, or he will not be given credit for either. The examinations in Latin composition will presuppose a knowledge of words, constructions, and range of ideas such as are common in the reading of the year, or years, covered by the particular examination. 6ab1. Elementary Latin. (3 units.) So much of subjects 6a2 and 662 as may be done in accredited schools in one year at the rate of five periods per week. No regular examination will be given in this subject, and no Latin work in the University is provided for students who present it for matriculation. 6a2. Elementary Latin; Caesar, Nepos. (2 units.) This subject represents four periods a week during the second school year. It includes the mastery of inflections and of the simpler principles of syntax, the A list of text-books authorized by the State Board of Education for use in the high schools of California is issued by the State Printer at Sacramento. acquisition of a working vocabulary of from one to two thousand words, and the power to understand, from the printed page and at hearing, simple prose narrative, and to translate the same into idiomatic English. The basis of this work must equal in amount Caesar's Gallic War, books I-IV; but in making up this total, selections may be included from other books of the Gallic War, or from the Civil War, or from the Lives of Cornelius Nepos, or from the works of other prose authors. The passages set for examination may, or may not, be taken from Caesar. 6b. Latin Composition, Elementary. (1 unit.) This subject represents one period a week, or its equivalent, during the second year. It includes the writing in Latin of detached and connected English sentences, and it should constitute the chief means of teaching Latin forms and syntax. NOTE. The total credit value of a recommendation in 6ab', 6a2, and 6b2 is six units; of 6ab1 and 6a2, five units; of 6ab1 and 6b2, four units. 7a, 7b. Advanced Latin: Cicero, Sallust (2 units); Virgil, Ovid (2 units). This subject represents four periods a week for two years. It includes the continuation of the requirements outlined under 6a2, with the addition of the study of versification. The emphasis in these two years should be laid upon the development of the students' power to understand Latin prose and poetry in the original, and upon the thought of the authors read, rather than upon the syntax, except in so far as the syntax is suggested by the interpretation of the thought. Considerable attention should be given to the matter of historical and literary allusions. The basis of the work in subject 7a must equal in amount six orations of Cicero; but in this total may be included selections from Cicero's letters, or from Sallust, or from other prose work of equal difficulty. The basis of the work in subject 7b must equal in amount Virgil's Aeneid, books I-VI; but selections may be included from the Bucolics and Georgics, or from Ovid (Metamorphoses, Fasti, Tristia), or from other poetry of equal difficulty. The examination in subject 7a will include questions on the Manilian Law and the Archias; and in subject 7b, on Virgil's Aeneid, books I and II, and, at the option of the student, on either books IV or VI. 7c1. Latin Composition, Advanced. (1 unit.) This subject represents one period a week, or its equivalent, for one year, presumably the third of the course. It includes the writing in Latin of connected English sentences. The emphasis should be laid on the order of words, the simpler features of sentence structure, and the means of connecting sentences into paragraphs. 7c2. Latin Composition, Advanced. (1 unit.) This subject represents one period a week, or its equivalent, for one year, presumably the fourth of the course. It may well serve as a means of reviewing Latin forms and syntax, but the prose of Caesar and Cicero should be the standard for reference. 8a. Elementary Greek. (3 units.) The requirement represents a year's work in the elements of the language, reading of simple prose, memorizing of quotations, writing from dictation, and abundant easy composition, both oral and written, leading to a sound knowledge of the ordinary inflectional forms and the common rules of syntax, and to a fair vocabulary. There is no regular matriculation examination in 8a apart from 8b. 8b. Attic Prose. (3 units.) The year's work should include reading of Attic prose equal in amount to books I-IV of Xenophon's Anabasis, memorizing of quotations, writing from dictation, and abundant easy composition, both oral and written, and should lead to a better mastery of inflection, syntax, and vocabulary. Some attention should be given to the historical setting of the Anabasis (or whatever other book or selections may be read) and to the antiquities connected therewith. 9a. Attic Prose. (11⁄2 units.) A continuation of the kind of work done in 8b; the reading, however, should be more rapid, and there should be more translation at sight. Writing should be continued, still abundant and still easy. 9b. Homer. (11⁄2 units.) The requirement represents the reading of three books of Homer (the matriculation examination will include questions on books I-III of the Iliad) and a knowledge of the ordinary characteristics of Homeric language and the principles of Homeric prosody. Ability to read Homer aloud with fluency and expression is expected. The adjustment of Greek work in the University to the different classes of students is as follows: 1. Students who offer no matriculation Greek will be admitted to Greek A-B, or AB, in their freshman year. 2. Students who offer 8a will be admitted to Greek B. 3. Students who offer Sab will be admitted to Greek C-D, or CD. 4. Students who offer 8ab and 9b will be admitted to Greek C. 5. Students who offer 8ab and 9a will be admitted to Greek D. 6. Students who offer 8ab and 9ab will be admitted to Greek 1 or 2. Students who begin Greek in the University have time for two years of strictly college Greek before graduation. But the period of life covered by the high school course is the time when the memory-work involved in learning the elements of a highly inflected language, like Greek, is most easily and successfully accomplished, and students who intend to study Greek are advised to begin the subject in the high school whenever this is possible. Alternatives 101 or 102. The elements of ancient history 10. Ancient History. (3 units.) 101. Ancient History. (3 units.) from the earliest times to 800 A.D. European and Mediterranean backgrounds of early Greek history and upon the period from the sixth century to about 200 B.C.; upon Roman history, from the conquest of Italy to the beginning of the third century A.D. 10. Ancient and Medieval History. (3 units.) A survey covering the period from the earliest times to about the year 1500. 11. Physics. (3 units.) The requirement represents at least a daily exercise during one school year, which falls within the last two years of preparation for college. It is expected that the ground covered will include fair representation of primary empirical laws from each of the main subdivisions of physics. The results called for demand vigorous and thorough instruction in the classroom, based upon laboratory exercises by the pupils and other experimental illustrations; and it is urged that a strong effort be made to connect the principles of physics with familiar facts and processes. In case the pupil appears for examination in this subject, he should submit his experimental notebook to the examiner in charge. Such notebooks must contain an explicit certificate from the teacher, in a form that specifies the date and place of the work, and the number of experiments vouched for. 12a1. Synthetic Projective Geometry. (11⁄2 units.) The operations of projection and intersection, the principle of duality, ideal elements, triangles in perspective, the complete quadrilateral, harmonic quadruples, involution. Construction of projective figures in the plane and in space, construction and projective properties of the conic sections, Pascal's and Brianchon's theorems, poles and polars. The relation between metric and projective geometry, with numerous problems and constructions. 12a2. Plane Trigonometry. (11⁄2 units.) The development of the general formulae of plane trigonometry, with applications to the solution of plane triangles and the measurement of heights and distances. Practice in computation with logarithmic tables. 12a. Plane Analytic Geometry. (11⁄2 units.) The fundamental methods of analytic geometry. The straight line and circle, and the simpler prop A list of text-books authorized by the State Board of Education for use in the high schools of California is issued by the State Printer at Sacramento. |
