A propos de cet article

Mathematics for Technical Students ? Part One (1952) By A. Geary, H. V. Lowry & H. A. Hayden Longmans, Green & Co. | ISBN: gloriously none Condition: Good (sturdy, slightly stern) Offered by: Crappy Old Books Here it is: the book from that post-war era when ?technical student? meant you will one day be responsible for an actual bridge not falling down . Mathematics for Technical Students ? Part One (1952) is a proper, no-nonsense textbook from Longmans, written for the slide-rule generation. This isn?t ?maths for personal growth? or ?numeracy for the mildly curious? This is: you?re going into engineering, lad/lass, better get your trigonometry in order . What sort of beast is this? Part One ? which, in classic 1950s fashion, assumes you?ll obediently progress to Part Two and possibly never escape. Written by A. Geary, H. V. Lowry and H. A. Hayden , a trio who clearly believed that what technical students needed most was less comfort and more algebra. Published by Longmans , back when textbook publishers expected students to own a single book for years, annotate it in fountain pen and never complain about the lack of cartoons. Inside you can reasonably expect: pages of carefully graded examples , equations that mean business , and the sort of diagrams that look harmless until you?re asked to calculate something involving angles, forces and ?take moments about point A? Condition: Good (and not in the modern estate-agent sense) ?Good? here means: The book is solidly bound and fully readable , not an exercise in loose-leaf chaos. There will be some ageing, shelfwear, and general patina of academic effort ? maybe some pencilled answers, perhaps a faint ring where a mug once stood guard during revision. Nothing crucial is missing, falling out, or on fire. It looks like it has taught people things , which is frankly what it was printed for. No dust-jacket miracles, no claim to be ?as new? It?s seventy-odd years old and has clearly been in the same room as real students, real desks and possibly a real T-square. Who is this for? Nostalgic engineers and technicians who miss the days when maths diagrams were hand-drawn and nobody asked if the course came with an app. People who find comfort in phrases like ?Resolve the forces? and ?Let x be the unknown? Collectors of old-school technical textbooks , especially the sort that assume you already know what a slide rule is and don?t need your hand held. Anyone who wants a maths book that looks like it could plausibly be used as both a teaching aid and a blunt instrument in a staffroom dispute. The vibe This is pre-whiteboard mathematics . No colour coding, no ?fun margins?, no mascot explaining fractions. Just earnest text, numbered examples and the quiet implication that if you don?t understand, you might consider trying harder. It?s the sort of book you imagine opened on a draughting table, next to a set square and a slightly smudged plan of something important. It doesn?t want to ?demystify maths? or ?make learning fun? It wants you to know how to do it properly so the roof stays up. If you?ve ever wanted a textbook that treats you like a serious person with a brain and a sharp pencil, Mathematics for Technical Students ? Part One (1952) is ready. Supplied by Crappy Old Books , where the branding is shabby, the stock is honest, and the maths still assumes you can cope without a calculator.…
