A Course of Pure Mathematics

In this video I will show you a legendary book that I have had for quite some time. This book was written by the famous G. H. Hardy who worked with Ramanujan in England. The book is titled A Course of Pure Mathematics. I hope you enjoy this video.

We appreciate your consistency on this channel. We learn a lot from all your other videos.

I started to read this difficult book by Russian translation and understood that I need more friendly analysis course. Author has a very clearly style of explanation, but examples may be so tricky that if you haven't enough mathematician experience it will be like a hammering nails to top in coffin of your self-esteem.

What a book!!! Thank you Sir... Love both channels!

i actually find reading older books much easier than newer ones for some reason.. even as a child i remember new books at the time had slightly beiger tones in their paper which made them easier in my mind to read..

I like this book and its approach to mathematics as not merely an instrumental skill for engineers or scientists but as a discipline in its own right. That these topics might appear in this or that university course really shows me how the math cuirriculum is built around the "needs" of applied science and engineering and not to present a coherent view of the discipline is clear from this TOC and the video commentary. I feel that anyone studying mathematics on their own could benefit from a book like this, if only to highten awareness of the stilted nature of the traditional curriculum, which one is in many ways compelled to recognize because it is the driver behind the textbooks we're most likely to use.

3:12 I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with smelling old books!

So happy for another video of yours!🎉❤

[Mathematica]

Yes. That’s the one I’ve been waiting for. I love that book. I like the difficult, straight forward style.. he is the dude who said that mathematics is like sculpture, pristine & austere. 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[fleurafricaine]

I agree with what you say about this book. I might go a little further to say Hardy didn’t really intend to teach students anything explicitly but rather write a detailed compendium of what he expected them to know.

Added to the collection!! Speaking of Hardy, the ending of his autobiographical work, A Mathematician's Apology, is very poetic.

Interesting side story about G. H. Hardy. He was a huge fan of the game of cricket. When he did some kind of visiting professorship in the US he transferred that interest into US baseball where he regularly attended baseball games. I guess that was the closest thing to cricket he could find in the US. I believe he also had a statistical interest in baseball which would make sense. He might have been the predecessor to Bill James, before his time.

My grandfather used this book when studying in a strange land. He went back home became an engineer, got caught up in a war, survived it and became the eccentric tinkerer of the village.

Always thought he was a giga-chad not because he had a whole separate family from us, ahem. But because he learned math from this book

Your thumbnails keep getting better! Keep up the good work!

[slhermit]

I coved a similar book (Pure Mathematics by SL Green) for grade 12 at high school.

[Penrose]

Wondering if you have a copy of G.H. Hardy's A Mathematician's Apology? If not then that would make for an interesting video. Thanks for another great one Sorc

[martinhawrylkiewicz]

Nice vid! My math professor gave me this book as a gift (soft cover) when I was graduating with BS in math. Still have it.

[mickserful]

The third edition contains a proof of the Chain Theory that's just fabulous. My exposure to Hardy came from a math website called 'stack exchange'.

[faithlesshound]

Freeman Dyson talks (in a long interview on YouTube) about being a student of Hardy's at the beginning of the war, when there were so few of them that they sat around a table in a small room. Dyson credits his mathematical enlightenment to discovering a copy of Cauchy's Cours d'Analyse in his school library: that was the most academic of the private schools in England. The book was uncatalogued, and Dyson eventually concluded that Hardy (a former pupil) must have slipped it anonymously onto the shelves some years earlier.

[DavidCosta]

thank you for the videos about books. nice to know. blessings

[budgarner]

I envy that you have an old copy of the text. I've sent off for the paperback. I do have my college hardback of Leigthold on The Calculus with Analytical Geometry text from 1971 and his 1976 revision. Those diagrams were revolutionary for the time.
