    I've been watching your videos since i'm in grade 12. Now i'm in 3rd year college taking civil engineering, your videos really helps me to have ideas on what i should study when it comes to math. Thank you so much!

    7:18 The purple ink stencil type is unmistakable.
    Mimeograph typeset...
    I can still smell it when I was in school in the 1970s. All the kids smelled it and it had to be bad for us.
    This was how we got test copies back then without an expensive copier machine.
    Someone typed it up on carbon paper. Some of the symbols and mistakes had to be marked out or hand-drawn. 😆
    Prince died in 2018. My guess is his collection was sold off as whole.
    He has a research grant in his honor.

    Thank you, Math Sorcerer! I’m so very glad you shared this pedagogical GEM to your audience. It is a wonderful guide to all of engineering mathematics. The textbook by Wylie is the one I used when I was in my first year of Engineering studies back in the early 1980’s!! It is written in a superb style, very clean explanations, as you said. This book contains an abundance of examples throughout the text, and covers all the essential mathematics you will need in any engineering field of study as well as in physics. I have referred to it numerous times throughout my engineering career- always provides the insights I need when I need it.

    Math book content is stationary. It generally stays the same throughout time as opposed to books about other subjects that need updates (like books about medicine). Math content is more like a cookbook where nowadays you have 1000 cookbooks, and 1000s of fancy ways to cook the same chicken breasts. As I was walking through the local flea market, a big red book titled The Practical Encyclopedia of Natural Healing caught my eye. I ended up buying it. The brick was $2.00. Back home, while reading through the chapter on heart disease, I stumbled upon a paragraph that spoke about the early clinical trials of chondroitin sulfate in a large hospital in South America. 110 patients who all had heart disease were selected. 50 of those patients received chondroitin sulfate and the other 60 received "conventional" therapy. After six years went by, 14 patients who were receiving conventional therapy died while out of those receiving chondroitin sulfate supplementation only 4 patients passed. Out of the control group 42 coronary incidents were reported while the patient receiving chondroitin sulfate only reported 6. This encyclopedia was printed in 1983, and chondroitin sulfate (and likely also glucosamine chondroitin) was still unavailable to the public in the United States. Today you could walk into Wal-Mart, take a left, your likely in the vitamin isle, squat, extend your arm, and buy a little bottle of chondroitin sulfate for about $12.08. In math, the interesting part is always different for everyone, but throughout time we keep arriving at some of the same formulas that ancients also discovered. It's somewhat similar to finding writing in an old used book like yours. The thought process of the previous owner is somewhat "tattooed" into the book. A book the general population would generally disregard.

    I also love finding these old exam papers and notes in old books. I found a final exam from May of 1962 in the book "Quantum Mechanics" by Powell and Crasemann with the same type of style as the papers you showed here. This was a take-home exam and my favorite line in the instructions is: "These questions involve only elementary ideas and basic principles. None of them is worked out explicitly in any book that I know of, consequently, a search of the literature is likely to be a waste of time."

      @@TheMathSorcerer You're welcome! I'm glad there are others out there that love these older books! I also collect old math and physics books like this and I find that I never have enough shelves :) These old books have a certain style about them that you just don't see anymore in my opinion. In my undergraduate, I majored in physics, math, and chemistry and could have pursued a Ph.D. in any of them but I decided in the end to do physics. I still love and study math on my own, however, especially the history of math as it is almost like a sort of novel or story filled with interesting people, sometimes tragic.

    EVERY(!) A.E.M. Text is indeed a treasure trove.
    I own a huge pile & read random chapters for fun sometimes.
    A unique observation with 'older' editions is the hidden gems of solution techniques that existed then.
    Hence, I recommend these authors who have stood the TEST of time & their 'tome's' have updated versions:
    *Wylie (& Barrett), 6th Ed., 1995 - 1300+pgs with odd-numbered answers
    *Kreyszig, 10th Ed., 2011 - 1200+pgs with odd-numbered answers + reference appendices
    *Zill, 6th Ed., 2018 - 1000+pgs with odd-numbered answers + reference appendices
    However, my ALL time favorite has got to be:
    *Stroud, 6th Ed., 2020 - 1200+pgs self paced 'tutorial' style work /reference text
    & it's E.M. prequel companion > 8th Ed., 1100+pgs same 'teach yourself'
    (Highly recommend BOTH for beginners to Eng Math, PDE /ODEs, etc)
    There's also a large pool of Indian & English Authored Texts which are on par, but might be more $$.
    They also cover a bigger spectrum of topics & usually exceed 1400+pgs...FUN STUFF!!

He that stealeth the one, may be sure of the other."

    Those purple-printed documents found in the book are mineographs. The master document was typed onto a multi-sheet package, the top sheet of which was made of a plastic, wax, or celullose material. The type would cut through the top sheet, leaving a path in the shape of the character typed for a special ink to seep through. The master was wrapped onto a rotating metal drum in a smalll, hand-cranked or motor-operated machine about the size of a large ink-jet printer. As the drum rotated, it would pulll a sheet of paper out of a feed tray and press the paper between a roller and the drum,causing ink to seep through the master and print onto the paper. The printed paper would be ejected into a copy tray for retreival. I had a quick look on UA-cam, and if anyone is interested in seeing a machine work, there are old instructional filmstrips showing operration of a mimeograph machine. Mimeograph machines went the way of the horse and buggy when Xerox machines began to appear in the late 1960s and 1970s. I do not recalll seeing mimeograph sheets after high school in the early 1970s. In college, everything was Xeroxed.

    Recommendation for a spectacular vintage text called Higher Mathematics for Engineers and Physicists by Sokolnikoff. Please have a a look I know love this one hopefully you’ll find time to show it to your audience this is a genuine classic vintage text on essential mathematics for engineering and sciences. I think this book set the standard for books that came much later such as those authored by Kreyszig and Wylie, et al.

    That "typesetting" looks a lot to me like typewriter text (and it looks like either a carbon copy - the imprint of the keys on a sheet of carbon-coated paper under the original - a bit smudgier than the marks the keys make hitting the ribbon - or even one of those old "blue copies" they used to make before photocopiers.)

      Hmm ... another thing to notice is how little yellowing there are on the pages of that book. A lot of new books start to disintegrate in less than ten years because of the acidic pulp paper we use today. (The very oldest books used rag paper, which lasts "forever" - so old books tend to outlive newer books.)
