Rewarding undergraduate text, derived from an experimental program in teaching mathematics at the secondary-school level. This text provides a good introduction to geometry and matrices, vector algebra, analytic geometry, functions, and differential and integral calculus. "...solid modern mathematical content..." — American Scientist. Over 200 figures. 1964 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Harper & Row, New York, 1964.
Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning by A. D. Aleksandrov, A. N. Kolmogorov, M. A. Lavrent’ev Major survey offers comprehensive, coherent discussions of analytic geometry, algebra, differential equations, calculus of variations, functions of a complex variable, prime numbers, linear and non-Euclidean geometry, topology, functional analysis, more. 1963 edition.
Mathematics and the Physical World by Morris Kline Stimulating account of development of mathematics from arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, to calculus, differential equations, and non-Euclidean geometries. Also describes how math is used in optics, astronomy, and other phenomena.
Mathematics for the Physical Sciences by Laurent Schwartz Concise treatment of mathematical entities employs examples from the physical sciences. Topics include distribution theory, Fourier series, Laplace transforms, wave and heat conduction equations, and gamma and Bessel functions. 1966 edition.
