Super THICK Antique Infinitesimal Calculus book from the 1800s

This is a really old Calculus book from the 1800s. It has a weird shape, it is super thick but it is not very wide. Strange book:)

I am a homeschool mom and found your video while searching for vintage arithmetic books. I am using a curriculum first published in 1912 with my 6 year old. The history of math education is so fascinating to me. As a millennial parent, my perception of math education was that it was static until the 80’s or so but really we’ve been going back and forth on method and content since the 19 century. Parents have been complaining about “new math” since then.

Erwin Schrödinger was a child when this book was launched. This is really cool.

That awkward moment when a book written in the 1800s is better than one from today

I recently came across a book - a treatise on integral calculus - the book is in 2 volumes combining up to 1900 pages! Imagine learning integration using a 1900 page book! The book is so amazing that it covers more than enough techniques for integration - including differentiation under the integral sign and other tricks for all sorts of integrals. The best part is that the two volumes were published way beck in 1920 and 1921.

It looks like you have the personal copy of J.W.Graham(1859-1932), principle of Dalton Hall, Owens College, , Manchester and an eminent figure in the English Quaker movement. In 1898, Horace Lamb was Chair of Mathematics at Owens College so he and Graham were colleagues. Also in 1898, the great Arther Eddington began his first year studies at Dalton Hall at 16 years old. Eddington may have been taught calculus from that very book.

Horace Lamb wrote a number of books that were Dover reprints. As I recall, Dover reprinted his book on Hydrodynamics and another on the Dynamical Theory of Sound. In the English language, my favorite early calculus book is Higher Mathematics for Students of Chemistry and Physics by Mellor. It is very readable and a pleasure to read. It is now somewhat dated. There are French calculus textbooks going back over 50 years earlier than Lamb. There was a very early book on the Theory of Fluxions dating to the mid-1700-s.

I'm fascinated by these old maths books. Computers didn't exist when this book was printed. How were those perfect function graphs produced? Lithography was rare at the time, and I believe it was used mainly for colour printing. If the book was letterpressed, somebody -- or a group of people -- had to typeset that whole thing, including mathematical symbols and graphs. That must have been a ridiculous amount of work. And how were the graph blocks manufactured? What was the book's price at the time? It couldn't be cheap. A couple of weeks' wages? The printing quality is superior to that of many cheap-edition books of today, 120 years later. I find that amazing. Also, that signature on the first page was made with a fountain pen, not out of choice, but because it would be more than 40 years until the first commercial Biros were available. Very cool stuff.

I collect old tertiary math books since I amaze how some are so well-written, possess rich source of content and questions composition plus a math lens in time.

[dariosilva]

This book is way ahead of its time. It looks like a book from the 1970s and 80s.

The guy's handwriting is clearly done with a fountain pen or something of the like. Pretty cool stuff.

That's really awesome! Your book review videos have inspired me to start collecting vintage math books (of course, I study them as well!).

Wow🤩 !!! This is incredible ! I really love such old books ! I liked your content, subscribed 😉💕

Horace Lamb is also the author of the Classic Bible of Fluid Mechanics in the book called "HYDRODYNAMCS". Very authoritative and highly mathematical with a lot of closed form solutions integrals and differential equations.

The first edition I think is from 1879 or 1873. About the same year of another classic book by James Clerk Maxwell "A Treatise of Electricity and Magnetism", years before the vector formalism.

I read math books from the 1800s and before all the time. They are just as understandable or more understandable as today’s books. The really old ones that I found in the university libraries from the 1500’s to the 1700’s would be understandable, but they are written in Latin. Math books from the 1800s, with some exceptions and terminology, could have been written yesterday imo. And no they didn’t have cars in the 1800’s.

List of public domain books by same author, Horace Lamb.

Another cool thing about the author Sir Horace Lamb is his book on Hydrodynamics is still reprinted by Dover Publications and can be purchased. Many modern books still refer to his book.

1898, Queen Elizabeth was already alive, more precisely she was celebrating her first 400 years.

[justjacqueline]

Dalton Hall my son's halls during his first year at Manchester University.
The book reminds me of my A-level Physics book by Nelkon and Parker.(1970s)eek!

[wwerocksinstyle]

Would live in the 1800s just to have handwriting like that woah damn

[dkaranovic]

This book seems to be still in print by oxford, slightly different title. It’s like the springer classics series. The amazing thing of your edition is, that the type/font ist already so readable like a modern edited book.
