cross-posted: Dolciani after 6B exactly what

[AnneD]

to buy, please?! I read many positives about this author but am overwhelmed and confused with various titles, editions, etc. Specific title, edition, ISBNs even would be very much appreciated!

If there are any solution manuals available, better yet!

Are you interested in the old 1960's and 1970's Dolciani's that have proofs a la the New Math? Or are you interested in the modern day Dolcianis that teach algebra the modern way as most texts for public and private schools teach?

 

I ask because that would tell which ISBN's you needed.

a la the New Math.

I think that these would be more helpful.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond!

I searched bookfinder.com and grabbed the one with the oldest copyright I could find. Mine is c. 1965. It doesn't have an ISBN. It's called "Modern Algebra: Structure and Method Book 1" by Dolciani, Berman and Freilich. It has answers to the odd-numbered problems in the back.

[Kimber]

For the old Dolcianis, the 1962 and 65 are the same edition and the 70, 73 and 75 are the same edition.

 

The student's isbn is 0395142555

The teachers isbn is 0395143705

 

There are for the 70, 73 and 75 imprints for algebra 1.

 

I have also found a 65 edition with the solutions manual and the algebra 2 edition with the teachers manual and the students and the solutions manual. There are more still out there.

 

Algebra 2, student edition isbn is 0395143993

Algebra 2 teachers edition isbn is 0395144574

Algebra 2 solutions manual isbn is0395144582

 

but often time, vendors sell books under the wrong isbn.

 

Good Luck!

 

My 60's book doesn't have an isbn.

Thanks for the help as well. I just got a 75 book 1 from paperbackswap.com. Now I'm on the lookout for a TM.

My post was misleading

 

The Isbn's I gave were for Structure and Method Book 1 and Book 2.

 

Dolciani had a separte set of books called ALgebra 1, and Algebra 2 and trigonometry.

 

The were published in 74 and later. They have a different set of Isbn numbers but do contain proofs as well. So you have to beware of the Algebra 1 versus Structure and Method. I just learned this last week as the books I purchased started to come in.

FYI I just received my copy of the 1965 version today of this and it has NO answers in the back. Nothing, not one answer. How could this be? I also orderd the 1975 one, so perhaps it has answers, but it won't be exactly the same as I think New Math was on the outs by then (there was that book, Why Johnny Can't Add... critizing New Math. New Math came on the heels of the drill days where kids learned their basic arithmetic in elementary grades. I started K in 1965 and didn't do new math until 1970, so I'm speaking with all the authority of having gone to 2 elementary schools, 1 in BC and 1 in CA, prior to doing New Math.;))

My 1965 edition has answers in the back. Small print, 16 pages. No proofs are given--answers only. Karin, if you need me to copy this for you, just send me a private message.

That's odd. I have a 1962 and I have the odd numbered answers in the back. I have 1975 one that has Copyright 1970 and 1973 with a 1975 imprint. So I think the '75 books are still heavy on the new math. As long as it's an imprint of the 1970 edition. I believe 62 and 65 are pretty much the same, because the solutions manual that I found goes with either 62 or 65 but the last chapter is different.

 

I feel so guilty to have found these books.
