Hardback. Condition: Good. 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.…

Condition: Used. In a world where numbers dance and equations frolic, "Mathematics for Technical Students Part Two" emerges from the dusty annals of 1957 like a time-traveling tutor with a rather stern face. This book, authored by the illustrious trio of A Geary, HV Lowry, and HA Hayden, promises to whisk you away on a riveting adventure through the not-so-captivating realm of technical mathematics. You may be wondering whether this is a spellbinding read or an elaborate form of self-punishment, but rest assured, it has sufficiently intrigued many a student who has found themselves desperately seeking solace in the pages of academic ennui. With the meticulous charm of a bygone era, this volume is a veritable treasure trove of mathematical concepts that can transform even the most mundane of technical students into numbers-savvy heroes. Expect no less than the rigorous analysis of formulas and the dissection of equations that would make even Newton raise an eyebrow?or perhaps simply roll over in his grave. From angular momentum to the most intricate of logarithmic functions, this book serves as both a guide and a mildly intimidating relic of educational history. Includes: Algebraic processes Factors Quadratic equations Logarithms Variation Similar figures Miscellaneous theorums Solis Geometry Trigonometric ratios Angles Trigonometric equations Vectors Triangle formulae Differentiation Iintegration But fret not, dear reader, for you shall find within these pages a plethora of topics presented with an earnestness that is both endearing and slightly terrifying. You may be tempted to think that this book comes with a side of parchment tea and a biscuit or two, because who wouldn?t want to sip and ponder the intricacies of differential equations in their spare time? Geary, Lowry, and Hayden seem to have concocted a literary brew that is half textbook, half academic boot camp, ensuring that readers will be proficient in mathematics or questioning their choices for a lifetime. Prepare to grapple with the following scintillating subjects: Complex numbers that will leave you wondering if you?ve stepped into another dimension. Trigonometric identities, perfect for those who enjoy solving problems while maintaining an impeccable sense of angular elegance. Statistical tools that are almost as fun as watching paint dry ? but with numbers! The mysterious world of matrices, where even the simplest operations can feel like a game of 3D chess. And let?s not forget the ever-elusive calculus, which may or may not lead you to a breakdown or a breakthrough! Condition: A vintage gem, this copy is well-loved and has seen the inside of many a forgotten classroom. The cover exhibits the charming wear of decades gone by, with slight creases and spots that whisper tales of its academic journey. Pages yellowed with age, yet stubbornly intact, they remain resolute against the test of time, willing to absorb your tears of confusion and triumph alike. Expect the occasional marginalia, likely penned by a previous owner who found something profound or simply needed to vent their frustrations regarding parabolas. So, whether you are a student of mathematics trying to navigate the labyrinthine corridors of equations or an existential philosopher pondering your life choices while confronting the reality of numerical assessments, this book is just the ticket. It?s a gentle nudge toward enlightenment?or at least a solid reminder of why you opted for a career in the arts instead. As you leaf through this treasure trove of mathematical wisdom, remember that Crappy Old Books is dedicated to unearthing such unique finds that carry with them the weight of history, knowledge, and just a hint of absurdity. Dive in, if you dare, and let the numbers take you on a journey you never knew you needed! Or don?t?it?s entirely your choice, after all.…
