<note>&hand; <i>Mathematics</i> embraces three departments, namely: <bold>1.</bold> <stype>Arithmetic</stype>. <bold>2.</bold> <stype>Geometry</stype>, including <stype>Trigonometry</stype> and <stype>Conic Sections</stype>. <bold>3.</bold> <stype>Analysis</stype>, in which letters are used, including <stype>Algebra</stype>, <stype>Analytical Geometry</stype>, and <stype>Calculus</stype>. Each of these divisions is divided into <i>pure</i> or <i>abstract</i>, which considers magnitude or quantity abstractly, without relation to matter; and <i>mixed</i> or <i>applied</i>, which treats of magnitude as subsisting in material bodies, and is consequently interwoven with physical considerations.</note>
