Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Good. Pure Mathematics ? A First Course ? SI Edition (1971) By J. K. Backhouse, S. P. T. Houldsworth & B. E. D. Cooper | Longman ISBN: 0582317975 Condition: Good (logically sound, slightly traumatised) Offered by: Crappy Old Books Here it is: the textbook that haunted the dreams of sixth formers, engineering hopefuls and unsuspecting A-level students throughout the 1970s and beyond. Pure Mathematics ? A First Course ? SI Edition (1971) is from that glorious age when maths textbooks: Assumed you owned a slide rule Expected you to show your working in pen And believed, quite sincerely, that a few hundred pages of algebra, calculus and trigonometry were good for your character This is pure mathematics, in the sense that there is very little padding and absolutely no hand-holding . What?s inside (besides your academic flashbacks) You get the full school-to-early-university treatment: Algebra : Equations, inequalities, functions, and the dawning realisation that letters are now numbers in disguise Trigonometry : Sine, cosine, tangent Identities to prove Diagrams that look deceptively friendly until the exercise number starts with a (iii) Calculus : Differentiation and integration introduced in that brisk, 1970s Longman tone: ?Here is the idea. Here are some examples. Now off you go.? Sequences, series, and other toys : Enough to convince you infinity is not a vibe but a workload And because this is the SI Edition : Everything is rendered in sensible, metric units No furlongs per fortnight, no pounds and shillings lurking in word problems?just clean modern units attempting to distract you from the fact you?re still stuck on question 5(b). The tone The authors write in that wonderfully calm, slightly stern teacher voice that says: ?You can understand this. You may not like it, but you can.? No cartoons, no motivational quotes in the margins, no coloured banners screaming ?YOU?VE GOT THIS!? Just: Explanations Worked examples Exercises More exercises And the vague implication that if you don?t get it, perhaps re-reading and trying harder might help It?s oddly refreshing in an age of gently animated explainer videos. This particular copy Condition: Good ? which in Crappy Old Books terms means: The binding is intact and respectable, not held together by despair and sellotape Covers likely show some honest wear: scuffing, a bit of edge rubbing, maybe a faint memory of someone?s timetable once sellotaped to the front The pages are all there, probably with that pleasing off-white ?I survived the 70s? hue You may find: A name in the front (? A. Smith, 6B, 1978 ?) The odd tick, cross, or pencilled attempt at a solution A faint aura of Exams Long Past But nothing that interferes with its primary function: making you better at maths, whether you intended that or not. The vibe Reading (or re-reading) Pure Mathematics ? A First Course feels like: Being back in a slightly chilly classroom, with a teacher saying ?This is really quite straightforward? while your brain stages a small rebellion Discovering, once again, that there is something deeply satisfying about a problem that actually works out cleanly at the end Realising that half the stuff your calculator cheerfully does in 0.1 seconds is rooted in these very pages, which is both humbling and slightly annoying It?s solid, old-school, no-nonsense maths education. No sparkle, no gimmicks?just logic, rigour, and pages of exercises . Why you might genuinely want this You?re nostalgic for the A-level pure maths of days gone by You tutor, teach, or enjoy terrifying younger relatives with ?what we had to learn in my day? You like old textbooks with clear explanations and a certain no-frills authority You?re self-studying and secretly prefer a proper 1970s brick of a book to an app that congratulates you for logging in It?s also a brilliant prop for: Making your desk look more serious Calming yourself with the thought: ?Whatever today?s problems are, at least no one is making me prove this trigonometric identity under timed conditions.? Condition vs. Difficulty Physically: Good ? more than sturdy enough for desks, bags, library-style sessions and the occasional frustrated thump Mathematically: still perfectly capable of: Teaching you something new Or reminding you something you once allegedly knew Or proving beyond doubt that maths has not, in fact, become easier since 1971 The book is fine. Whether you are ready is another question. Ideal for: Maths teachers with a soft spot for vintage Longman Engineers and scientists who want to re-ground themselves in proper old-school pure maths Collectors of classic educational texts Anyone with a slightly masochistic streak who thinks ?brushing up my calculus from a 1971 text? sounds like a nice winter project Offered by Crappy Old Books , where the branding is chaotic, the pedagogy is rigorous, and this Good-condition SI edition is standing by to remind you what pure mathematics looked like before pastel revision guides and motivational stickers.
