Modern Introductory Analysis

This text, along with all the Dolciani books by Houghton Mifflin were the corner stones of any high school math program in the 60's-70's and early 80's. This book particularly was the book that I learned pre-calculus from, and made me become a math major. The books were literate in their context, never watered down, but not so abstract that a high school student couldn't read and follow. The Teacher's Edition's were the best of any series (until Houghton Mifflin changed the format, and made them less teacher friendly). I still have 2 TE's of this book and the solutions key, and still refer to it when I need to...it beats any precalculus book out today. Once Ms. Dociani passed away, the entire Houghton Mifflin series went down the tubes, their current texts DO NOT hold muster to this old classic!!!

Miracle! I finally got a copy of Dolciani's "MODERN INTRODUCTORY ANALYSIS", and it is everything I remembered it to be thirty three years ago in my 12th grade College Prep (CP-12) Math course. I still endorse this text as 5-stars! MN

I had this text (black and blue w/white trim) during my Senior Year in High School in 1967-68, and found it to be a great stepping stone and confidence builder into Calculus. It provides a clear and crisp view into college level material. I wish the book could be made available again.

I never had this book for a course in high school, but I found it to be a great reference for the serious high school math student. It is outstanding in its sweeping coverage of subject matter. First, the authors introduce symbolic logic as a foundation for what follows. This is then followed by a variety of topics from sequences and series to matrices. I found it very clear reading and interesting.

This math book is a great problem book but seems to lack in some explanations of the concepts. Also, the book contains some extranneous concepts and formulas and does not necessarily present the material in a friendly manner. The book is very straightforward--something which I find to be important in a mathematics book. The problems are interesting and challenging, but the book should provide solutions to all of them, not just some.
