The Examination will consist of two papers as follows: 1. Solid Geometry and Elementary Differential Equations. 2. Dynamics of a Particle and Rigid Dynamics in two Dimensions. The scope of the Examination is approximately indicated by the following text-books: POYNTING and THOMSON: Properties of Matter. POYNTING and THOMSON : Sound. BARNES'S Practical Acoustics. The following may also be consulted : FOURIER: Theory of Heat. RAYLEIGH: Theory of Sound. Papers bearing on the subjects of the Examination given in Nature, the Philosophical Magazine or the Transactions of the Royal Society. |
