Durell's textbooks were hugely successful from the 1920s, and by 1935 his publisher, G. Bell & Sons, was claiming: ''There can indeed be few secondary schools in the English-speaking world in which some at least of Mr Durell's books are not now employed in the teaching of mathematics''. He collaborated on books with masters from other schools, such as R. M. Wright of
Eton, A. W. Siddons of
Harrow, C. O. Tuckey of
Charterhouse, Alan Robson of
Marlborough and G. W. Palmer of
Christ's Hospital. Durell's books cover all areas of school mathematics, including
algebra,
calculus,
mechanics,
geometry, and
trigonometry, and include: •
Elementary Problem Papers (Arnold, London, 1906) •
Readable Relativity (G. Bell & Sons, 1926) •
The Teaching of Elementary Algebra (G. Bell & Sons, 1931) •
General Arithmetic (G. Bell & Sons, 1936) •
Elementary Geometry (G. Bell & Sons, 1948) First published 1925 ==References==
