There is a film of a way up, over
the top lecture in plane geometry
by Andrew Gleason with Tom Apostol.
I saw it broadcast late one night on
a PBS station and intended for recording
for playing in high school classrooms.
Elegant. Powerful. Nothing like
what see in common high school
plane geometry texts. I got in
a few minutes after the start and
recognized a lion by his paw. If you
liked plane geometry, then you will
be in love with this lecture.
I just did a Google search looking for
a copy on YouTube and found nothing.
Anyone know where that lecture is?
One of my favorite books, I worked to
buy used long after it was out of print,
is
Tom M. Apostol,
Mathematical Analysis:
A Modern Approach to Advanced Calculus,
Addison-Wesley,
Reading, Massachusetts,
1957.
And that is advanced calculus more like
your ugrad physics prof will see it.
Great to have when studying Rudin,
exterior algebra but having to
study material much like physicists
did it 100 years ago.
