- catalog abstract "The mathematical theses consist of equations and drawings which illustrate the equations. These are finely executed documents on large sheets of paper. Frequently in color, the drawings are typically pen-and-ink. The drawings frequently depict astronomical events or the buildings and lands of Cambridge, Massachusetts and Harvard University. At the the time of their creation, the purpose of these documents was to demonstrate a student's mastery of one or more mathematical concepts by applying math to a problem in the real world. However, the enduring value of many of the theses lies in the fact that they are works of art. As group, the theses demonstrate a change, in society at large, from the concerns of the late 18th century to those of the industrial revolution. As the years progress, the fields to which the mathematical concepts are applied change. The earliest theses are chiefly concerned with astronomy, perspective, and surveying. Fields of interest that emerge in later theses include navigation, light, and engineering topics such as mechanics, railroads, and steam engines.".
