Solutions to Gelfand's Trig

Is anyone interested in a solutions guide to Gelfand's Trig? Did you benefit from the algebra solutions?

I would be interested. I'm working through the Algebra right now and the solutions have been very nice to have.

ditto, i've only done a little of the algebra though, but would love to see the trig solutions as well

We're not ready for the algebra yet, but we will definitely benefit from the solutions when we get there. I can only imagine that the trig ones would be great to have, also!

As a side question for you, I was able to get Allen's Algebra from ILL. Since you own this and also the Suppes mathematical logic book, would you say that the Suppes' contains everything (and then some) included in Allen's Logic chapter?

Suppes "First Course in Mathematical Logic" (not be confused with his Introduction to Mathematical Logic) covers information that is not in Frank Allen's chapter on logic such as tautologies ( I think Allen introduces the term and gives one example) and universal quantifiers.

It goes into more depth, introduces more symbols, has a few more topics, and more proofs.

A student who has been working in Frank Allen would find the Suppes book fairly easy going. However, there is still enough new information that makes it worth doing. It's on the list of things to do in the seventh grade next year along side proofy geometry. We should be entirely finished with Frank Allen's Algebra by the end of October.

It'd be very nice because if you don't do it, I'll have to. :-P And I don't type things up and make them pretty!

BTW, I'm going to be going through The Method of Coordinates and Functions and Graphs first. I'll make those (handwritten!) solutions available to all.

I'd love the Trig solutions if you're so inclined... Algebra we only had to look up once or twice, but for that once or twice it did save me a headache ;)

I just got Gelfand's books and managed to solve most but not all of the problems, although I had my own perspective to it. Would love to have solutions handy just to go through once I have made honest attempts to solve the problems.

I don't know if you will get this comment or not but I was interested in your solutions manual for I. M. Gelfand's Algebra and Trigonometry. I'm currently a 6 major college student (philosophy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and computer science) and I was trying to go back over the stuff I wasn't taught in secondary or the makeup class in college that should of covered this stuff.

I really liked the texts but was having trouble on one specific question on parentheses at the beginning of the book. I suspect I'll find a few other places later on.

If you still have a copy (as the one you have posted on the side is not a valid URL (gives a 404 error on Firefox: I. M. Gelfand's Algebra Solutions Unless that link happens to be an ad...) I was wondering if there was some way I could get a copy for my own personal education purposes. Might also know a few people who would find it useful too. Some college chums/profs.

Anyhow, thanks dude for the post. I'll have to look more into your blog, looks interesting.

well in my case I have many problems to aprove this matter, I remember that my teacher said "what happen to you, are you retarded?" the next day I was in my house with my knuckles a little bit swollen.

I do not like this matter because I am so bad with the numbers so I think if domebody think that can do it , they should do it , because is so important.

Well I guess many people needs help with maths, for example in the country that I come from, there's a lot of students that have many difficulties with maths even the last year student must repeat all the year just for that subject, which is not fair :S
