Elementary Geometrical Drawing, 11. Drawing Free-hand Drawing of Machinery, Architectural, Topographical, Landscape, or Figure subjects 500 500 III. No Candidate will be allowed to be examined in more than five subjects, of which one must be Mathematics, and no one who does not obtain at least 700 marks in Section I. of Pure Mathematics, will be eligible for an appointment. From the other subjects of examination each Candidate may select any, not exceeding four in number, in which he desires to be examined; the rules for counting marks are as follows: In all subjects except Mathematics one sixth of the marks allotted to each must be gained before they can be allowed to count. In the Classica and in Drawing, the subject is divided into two sections as above, either or both of which the Candidate may take up as one subject; but he will not be allowed to count the marks gained in either Section unless they amount to one-sixth of the number allotted to it. In either French, German, or Hindustani, and in Geometrical Drawing, every Candidate will be required to obtain onesixth of the maximum of marks for qualification, whether he takes them up as subjects in which he desires to compete or not. It should be understood, that though only a small qualifying test has been imposed in respect to Modern Languages and Geometrical Drawing, a knowledge of them on admission will contribute greatly to a Candidate's future success at the Royal Military Academy. IV. The Candidates are allowed to answer as many questions as the time allotted to the subject will permit. V. No Candidate will be admitted unless he obtain an aggregate of at least 2,500 marks. SYLLABUS OF EXAMINATION IN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND INTEGRAL CALCULUS. Differential Calculus. The meaning of Differentiation. The Differentiation of Elementary Functions of one independent variable. The theorems of Taylor and Maclaurin, with their applications. The theory of Maxima and Minima, with its applications. The equations to the Tangents, Normals, and Asymptotes of Plane Curves. The curvature of Plane Curves and their radii of curvature and evolutes.

The meaning of Integration. The Integration of Elementary Functions. The determination of the lengths and areas of Plane Curves, and of the surfaces and volumes of solids of revolution. The number of Candidates who presented themselves on the first day was 115; but one was rejected by the Medical Board. Of the remaining 114 Candidates 71 were found qualified in every respect, and the names of the 40 highest in the list were submitted to His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding - in - Chief on the 25th July. The following Tables contain the number of Candidates examined, and the number of failures, in each subject; the List of Successful Candidates; and the General |
