(i) Statute.

[Statt. Tit. VI. Sect. I. C.]

§ 5. Of the Honour School of Mathematics.

1. The subjects of examination in the Honour School of Mathematics shall be Pure and Mixed Mathematics.

2. No Candidate shall be admitted to examination in this School unless he has passed the First Public Examination, or is qualified for admission under the provisions of Statt. Tit. VI. Sect. 1. cl. 6, or is an Affiliated, Indian, Colonial, or Foreign Senior Student, or has obtained Honours in another Final Honour School.

3. The Examination in this School shall be under the supervision of the Board of the Faculty of Natural Science.

4. The Board shall have power to issue a Syllabus of the subjects in which Candidates shall be examined, and to vary the same from time to time.

(ii) Regulations of the Board of the Faculty.

Candidates will be examined in the following subjects :-
