Henlo /sci/ , I'm looking for old stem curriculum, preferably between 1800-1950, specifically for math & physics. I wish to the level of mathematics the folks at hat time were exposed to in their undergraduate and graduate programs of Physics & math. Thx.

quite the odd timeframe since a lot changed in these 150 years alone. Otherwise, this may help https://sci-hub.se/https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4614-9155-2_11

Math wasn't invented until Banach developed his theories in 1930s.

They have been very secular about who gets access to their old books and mathematics. Those are only accessible as a student there.

1915-1935 is when modern math came about

There is no such thing outside of a social construct (arbitrary definition). Like "generation Z", nature doesnt see that, we do....so youve divorced maths from logic and created an arbitrary code/language.

Mathlet...Numbercel. No thanks. I study root mathematics.

Euclid was waaay ahead of our time. Check pic rel. How did he know all that stuff?!

you will probably find that 1800s math was unrefined.

>> No.15010838

If you've competed your first year of undergrad calculus, congratulations, you have achieved what someone with a masters in math would have in the 1850s.
200 years from now, 1st year math students will have the equivalent knowledge of an average math PhD today.

This. Hell, prior to the early half of the 1900s a lot of secondary schools in the US and Europe didn't even offer trig. Nowadays if you get into college without completing at least through pre-calc you're considered behind.

Fwih, folks like Maxwell and Einstein were way ahead than Ur average STEM undergrad today. The university entrance exams must surely tell u something about the level of knowledge that was expected.
