Materials in English.
Biographical Note:
Alumnus Harold L. (Hal) Manley entered Oregon State College in January 1938 and graduated in June 1940 with a BS degree in Civil Engineering. He worked briefly for the National Bureau of Standards after graduation and served in the US Marine Corps from 1942 to 1946. In 1946, he became a State Registered Civil Engineer in California; shortly thereafter he began working for the Department of Building and Safety of the City of Los Angeles where he remained until his retirement in 1975.
The Harold L. Manley Collection consists of lecture notes and problem sets from mathematics and engineering classes that Manley took at Oregon State College in 1939-1940 as well as several mathematics and engineering textbooks. Of particular interest are lecture notes from a numerical calculus class taught by W.E. Milne and a 1949 numerical calculus textbook by Milne.
In addition to the numerical calculus lecture notes, the collection includes problems in differential equations and statically indeterminate structures. The textbooks include
Numerical Calculus: Approximations, Interpolation, Finite Differences, Numerical Integration, and Curve Fitting by W.E. Milne (1949); Elementary Differential Equations by Lyman M. Kells (1935); Strain Energy Methods of Stress Analysis by A.J. Sutton Pippard (1928); Theory of Elasticity by S. Timoshenko (1934); and Elements of the Differential and Integral Calculus by W.A. Granville (1911).
Collection is open for research.

The materials were donated to the University Archives by Manley's son, Steven L. Manley, in 2000.
The Melvin C. Hironaka Notebooks (MSS Hironaka) consist of class notebooks created by Hironaka for engineering courses that he took at Oregon State College in the 1950s. The W.E. Milne Collection includes other mathematical publications by Milne. The Mathematics Department Records (RG 136) include Milne's general correspondence from the 1930s.
