I.M. Gelfand, E.G. Glagoleva, A.A. KirilovThe Method of Coordinates
The need for improved mathematics education at the high school andcollege levels has never been more apparent than in the 1990s. Asearly as the 1960s, I. M. Gel'fand and his colleagues in the USSRthought hard about this same question and developed a style forpresenting basic mathematics in a clear and simple form that engagedthe curiosity and intellectual interest of thousands of high schooland college students. These same ideas, this same content, unchangedby over thirty years of experience and mathematical development, areavailable in the present books to any student who is willing to read,to be stimulated and to learn."The Method of Coordinates" is a way of transferring geometric imagesinto formulas, a method for describing pictures by numbers and lettersdenoting constants and variables. It is fundamental to the study ofcalculus and other mathematical topics. Teachers of mathematics willfind here a fresh understanding of the subject and a valuable path tothe training of students in mathematical concepts and skills.
