Riassunto

Excerpt from Syllabus of Propositions in Geometry: Intended for Use in Preparing Students for Harvard College and the Lawrence Scientific School

For the sake of conciseness, such expressions as the product of two lines, the product of a line and a surface, etc., have been used in the sense of: the product of the lengths of two lines, the product of the length of a line and the area of a surface, etc.

Candidates will be provided with a copy of the Syllabus for use at the admission examination in Geometry. They may refer to the propositions of the Syllabus by Book and number, instead of writing them out at length.

Aids to such training are (1) the accurate drawing, by means of ruler and compass, of plane figures (ag. The medial lines of a triangle, or a regular hexagon) and (2) the use of models and carefully drawn diagrams of solid figures. The pupil should provide himself with a sphere on which he can draw, and a hemispherical cup to fit the sphere, by means of which he can draw great circles. Models of the regular bodies are readily con structed out of card-board.
