Mathematics Seminar for Scientists and Engineers
To meet specific training needs expressed by various offices, OTR
has arranged with The George Washington University to present a
non-credit, non-competitive, mathematics refresher course. Ten-
tatively entitled Mathematics Seminar for Scientists and Engineers,
the course is designed for persons who have earned college credit
in mathematics courses but who have lost proficiency through dis-
use of the skills once acquired.
The usual limitations of overt personnel status for an off-campus
course at Headquarters Building will not apply. Because this non-
credit course is being arranged under a special contract, GWU will
not require registration data on individuals nor will the names of
those attending be furnished to the University. By this special ar-
rangement, personnel qualified for this course need not be denied
attendance solely because of cover problems. Form 73 (Request
for Internal Training) will be used for registration. They should
be sent to the Registrar, OTR. The class will meet weekly from
1715 to 1945 on Tuesday, 8 October, in Room 6F-21. The instruc-
tor will be 25X1A
The course will consist of a review of the following topics, totaling
17 class sessions:
a. General (1 session). Exponents, roots, logarithms;
number systems and codes (real, rational, and com-
plex numbers); fractions and manipulative techniques.
b. Algebra (2 sessions). Equations and manipulative
techniques including simultaneous equations, quadratic

equations, and equations of higher order; series, se
quences, and progressions.
c. Trigonometry (2 sessions), Trigonometric functions;
Identities and manipulative techniques; spherical trigo-
nometry.
d, Analytical Geometry (2 sessions). Coordinate systems;
equations and graphs of lines, s conic sections, and other
curves.
e. Calculus (5 sessions). Concepts and definitions; deriva-
tives and differentiation - applications such as velocities,
accelerations, and maximum and minimum problems;
integrals and integration - applications such as work,
area, and volume; use of formulas and tables.
Matrices and vectors (5 sessions), Theory; manipula-
tive techniques.
Mathematics Seminar for Scientists and Engineers is designed to
prepare students to become currently qualified for enrollment in
specific credit courses offered by local universities. A student
might anticipate a schedule similar to the following:
Fall & Winter 1963 - Mathematics Seminar for Sci-
entists and Engineers..
b. Spring 1964 - Calculus II and III (continuation of non-
credit seminar outlined above).
c. Fall 1964 - Individual enrollment in GW University
Mathematics 111; Mathematics for Engineers and
Physicists or equivalent (3 hours credit).
d. Spring 1965 - GW University Mathematics 112; (con-
tinuation of Mathematics 111 -- 3 hours credit).
