Contents. Background Allendoerfer was born in, the son of a prominent banker. He graduated from in 1932 and attended as a, 1932-1934.
He received his Ph.D. In mathematics from in 1937. Research & Teaching Allendoerfer taught at Haverford College in the mid-1940s where he became known for work with on the, an important theorem in. He continued his studies of differential geometry at the (1948-1949). In 1951, he became professor and later chair of the Mathematics Department at the, where he is known for establishing the Summer Mathematics Institute for High School Teachers.
Allendoerfer was president of the (1959-60) and editor of its monthly journal. In 1966 he won a. In 1972, he received the MAA's Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics.
After his death, the MAA established the Carl B. Allendoerfer Award, which is given each year for 'expository excellence published in Mathematics Magazine.' Allendoerfer is also known as a proponent of the movement in the 1950s and 1960s, which sought to improve American primary and secondary mathematics education by teaching abstract concepts like early in the curriculum. Allendoerfer was a member of Commission on Mathematics of the whose 1959 report Program for College Preparatory Mathematics outlined many concepts of the New Math. The commission and report were criticized by some for emphasizing pure mathematics in place of more traditional and practical considerations like arithmetic. Allendoerfer was the author, with, of several prominent mathematics used in the 1950s and 1960s.

Book similar to 'Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang' I'm looking for a good book for my son, who wants to be a mathematician like me. He is totally into mathematics! Basically what I need is a 'Apostol or Spivak for High School Math'. What I mean is: I need a 'rigorous mathematician's book'. I think that 'Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang' would be perfect, since I could take a look at it's table of contents and first pages at Amazon, but I cannot find it here in my country. Does anybody knows similar books?
Re: Book similar to 'Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang' i would suggest the 1955 edition of allendoerfer and oakley as much better than lang. But they assume some of the basic math lang covers. So it depends how basic you want your book to be. If you want material more elementary than A and O, gelfand's book Algebra is also very basic and seems much better written than lang's book. Lang was a brilliant man but he wrote his books generally very carelessly, just the opposite of gelfand and others of the russian school of mathematics, where outstanding exposition is the norm.
Re: Book similar to 'Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang' Thanks mathwonk. My library has the 1955, 1963, and 1963 versions of Principles of Mathematics. Do you believe the 1955 version to be the best?
Also, the sole review on amazon describes the book's content as 'assorted fun topics in the theory of functions as well as good stuff on sequences and series.' Are those the crucial topics of high school math? I was hoping to build a strong understanding of all things that should be known before starting calculus while also getting introduced to the rigorous style that will be used in later math classes. (one of my loftier goals is to eventually be able to work my way through spivak:shy:) I trust your opinion way more than that reviewers for obvious reasons, but I still wanted to make sure the book fits what I'm looking for.
Edit: It doesn't have to be just 1 book either thanks to how long christmas break is in college! Re: Book similar to 'Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang' i used the 1955 edition myself and liked it. Usually the earliest edition of a good book is the best. This book goes well beyond what used to be taught in hugh school, and is excellent prep for spivak. It cannot be read over even a long xmas break, but contains plenty for a long year course.
Bertrand Russell Principles Of Mathematics Pdf
The logic at the beginning is one of the best parts, and is usually missing in many high school preparations. The complex numbers are clearly explained, another valuable topic.
Say, you might enjoy euler's elements of algebra, free on the web. There is no magic choice, the one that you enjoy and feel connected to is the one for you. Math is not a list of topics but an experience of motivation and communication. The one that has you thinking about the concepts afterwards and wanting to know more is the one you want. Euclid's elements is also quite wonderful.
Look on my webpage for some free stuff. You might appreciate my epsilon camp notes and my math 4000 notes there.
