Description
This 1933 second edition, completely revised of Abraham Cohen’s An Elementary Treatise on Differential Equations is a strong early American mathematics title with appealing academic provenance. Cohen is identified on the title page as a Johns Hopkins University mathematics professor, and this copy carries an ownership inscription to Edwin Joseph Tuthill, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, which gives it extra historical interest beyond a standard old textbook.
A desirable piece for collectors of mathematics, engineering, technical education, and early 20th century science books, this copy stands out because it connects a respected prewar differential equations text with a named Brooklyn technical-school owner. That kind of real academic association helps the book feel more personal, period-correct, and collectible.
