Yes, and the main reason I like these old texts so well is that they
tend to explain things in simpler mathematical terms. When I open a
modern textbook and see calculus on the intro page.... A lot of
things require only a really good working knowledge, at the super tech
level, and not at the theoretical or blank paper design level. These
old books tend to give that in spades.
