Anyone else use mathematical textbooks from around 1950?
I do... by accident...
Tend to pick them up in thrift stores where they just get dropped, discarded...
But, I find them engaging! Many of them are around 1950. It is also a little fun to see how mathematics has progressed. For example, my General Mathematics Volume 1 assumes there is no simple divisibility test for 7.
Well, he was wrong.
I was just wondering if anyone else even uses these volumes now. Let me know if any of these sound familiar.
Algebra for Beginners including Easy Graphs by Hall and Knight - 1950
Calculus made easy by Sylvanus P. Thompson F. R. S. - 1948
General Mathematics Volume 1 by C. V. Durell - 1952
and Elements of Analytical Geometry by J. T. Brown & C. W. M. Manson - 1957
Much gratitude for replies,
Mahmoud.
