...know something about your black gold. Geology 3 gets you out in the open on nice spring and fall days, but don't let nature call until your senior year or you may find the competition too stiff. Don't let anyone kid you into wasting your time on Math 2, if you don't fancy the Calculus, before going in for seismic surveying in 9b. The course is good stuff for the lubrication addicts, but in the whole year you only get one problem that requires Math...
Saunders' in Physics C is thorough but uninspiring. His book contains all the material necessary for the course, and the lab is dull and unimportant. Physics 1 by Oldenburg, on Atomic Physics, is unnecessary for Divisionals but good for advanced theory nX-Ray radio activity for Med. School. Math A is a necessary course for both advanced Physics and advanced Chemistry. The quality of the course depends almost entirely on the section man. Concentrators are given credit for Anthropology...
...Math, A, 2, and 5 are prerequisites for concentration in this rather specialized and small field of concentration. In A, Beatley is particularly good for a student who is not too well grounded; if you're hot, try to get MacLane. In 2, for good men Huntington is excellent. Furthermore he is eminently worth getting to know as a person, and in his classes is best known for his sense of humor, Chances are that he will retire this year, but be sure to check up and see whether he actually has. In the same course, Widder makes you work...
...Math. 9 is interesting if its particular problem concerns you, and is not especially difficult. Math, 11, which may be given next year by MacLane, is excellent, but not too good to take unless the student has had Math. 2. Math 12 is mostly taken by graduate students, and is definitely steep. Math. 13 is one of the stiffest courses in the department, and trains the student in really rigorous proof. The lecture material is generally well presented, but the problems are tough, and the grading severe. The course is recommended, but for senior year...
...Math. 21 is for specialists, so to speak, but if given by Huntington is worth taking. Math 22, under Graustein, was excellent, though exceedingly difficult...
