Description

Original 1969 edition. Signs of wear. Corners and cover may show wear. Missing dust jacket.
This vintage copy of “Calculus without analytic geometry” by Barry Mitchell offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of mathematics education in the 20th century. Published in 1969, this textbook represents a pivotal era when calculus instruction was shifting away from its traditional reliance on analytic geometry. Mitchell’s pioneering approach aimed to make the subject more accessible by presenting calculus concepts without the geometric underpinnings that had long been considered essential. As an early adopter of this innovative teaching method, this book holds historical significance for mathematics educators and collectors alike. Despite its well-worn condition, this copy bears the patina of a beloved classroom companion, with its dog-eared pages and marginalia hinting at the intellectual journeys of countless students. For collectors, it offers a tangible link to the evolving pedagogical landscape of the late 1960s, when new perspectives challenged long-held assumptions in mathematics education.
