There will be two papers in Mathematics, one paper in Arithmetic and Algebra, and a second paper in Geometry. The courses shall be as follows:

(1) Arithmetic. The whole of Arithmetic. (The uses of Algebraical symbols and processes shall be permitted.)

(2) Algebra. The four simple rules, Fractions, Greatest Common Measure, Least Common Multiple, Factors, Proportion, Simple Equations of one or more unknown quantities with easy problems, Square Root, simple guestions on Fractional and Negative Indices, Quadratic Equations of one unknown quantity with easy problems.

The questions on Practical Geometry shall be set on the constructions contained in the annexed Schedule A, together with easy extensions of them. All figures should be drawn accurately, for which purpose every candidate should provide himself with a graduated scale, a pair of set squares, a protractor, compass and a hard pencil.

The questions on Theoretical Geometry shall consist of Theorems contained in the annexed Schedule B, together with easy extensions and deductions with numerical illustrations. Any proof of a proposition shall be accepted which appears to the examiners to form part of a systematic treatment of the subject; the order in which the theorems are stated in Schedule B is not

imposed as the sequence of their treatment. In the proof of the theorems hypothetical constructions shall be permitted.

SCHEDULE A.

Bisections of angles and of straight lines. Construction of perpendiculars to straight lines. Construction of an angle equal to a given angle. Construction of parallels to a given straight line. Simple cases of the construction from sufficient data of triangles and quadrilaterals.

Division of straight lines into a given number of equal parts or into parts in any given proportions.

Construction of a triangle equal in area to a given polygon.

Construction of tangents to a circle and of common tangents to two circles.

Simple cases of the construction of circles from sufficient data.

Construction of a fourth proportional to three given straight lines and a mean proportional to two given straight lines.

Construction of regular figures of 3, 4, 6 or 8 sides in or about a given circle.

Construction of a square equal in area to a given polygon.

SCHEDULE B.

ANGLES AT A POINT.

If a straight line stands on another straight line, the sum of the two angles so formed is equal to two right angles; and the converse.

If two straight lines intersect, the vertically opposite angles are equal.
