(1) To form the equation of a straight line through two given points.
(2) To solve graphically a simple quadratic equation.
Class 1 in addition should be able to explain and draw the graphs of:- XY = A, X÷Y = A2
GEOMETRY
It is throughout of the greatest importance that in this subject nothing except definitions, axioms and postulates should be committed to memory.
Good results can only be obtained by teaching from the black-board and insisting on individual Pupils repeating the theorem or problem viva-voce. Pupils should not be required to write out Propositions in Class more than once in the course of a month. Throughout, simple exercises occasionally should be worked. In Problems, Graphical Methods should be employed whenever possible.
MENSURATION
Classes 2 and 1.
4. To be treated as an extension of the application of the formulæ already met with in Algebra and Arithmetic.
In the working of calculations no opportunity should be missed of insisting on the use of the methods of contracted multiplication and division.
B.—All Divisions of this Class should have a working knowledge of the use of four figure logarithms. Instruction in logarithms can with advantage be given at any mathematical lesson except Geometry.
TRIGONOMETRY
Pupils who intend taking this subject are strongly advised to join the "Special Course" on entering Class 2. Their knowledge of algebraic methods at that stage should be quite sufficient to carry them over the initial difficulties of the subject. This is specially so in the case of students who intend to enter the Mathematical side at the University.
SYLLABUS
ARITHMETIC
1. Class 8.— I.—Notation and Numeration. II.—The Four Simple Rules.
2. Class 7.—In addition to the work of the previous Class:- I.—The Four Rules applied to English Money. II.—Calculation in Chinese Money and Measures.
