Another great vintage math textbook from Gutenberg. This math text by William Elwood Byerly, a professor at Harvard University, is full of well-explained examples. Despite the age, this text uses plain language to explain terms and would probably make a great supplement to a more modern text on the same subject.
Students will need to be familiar with differential and integral calculus.
