Présentation de l'éditeur
As beginners generally find -- great difficulty in comprehending the connection between a locus and its equation, the opening chapter is devoted mainly to an attempt, by means of easy illustrations and examples, to make this connection clear. Each chapter abounds in exercises; for it is only by solving problems which require some degree of original thought that any real mastery of the study can be gained. The more difficult propositions have been put at the ends of the chapters, under the heading of Supplementary Propositions. This arrangement makes it possible for every teacher to mark out his own course. The simplest course will be Chapters I.-III. and Chapters V.-VII., with Review Exercises andS upplementary Propositions left out. Between this course and the entire work the teacher can exercise his choice, and take just so much as time and circumstances will allow. The author has gathered his materials from many sources, but he is particularly indebted to theE nglish treatise of Charles Smith. Special acknowledgment is due to G. A. Hill, A.M., of Cambridge, Mass., for assistance in the preparation of the book. Corrections and suggestions will be thankfully received. G. A. WENTWORTH. Phillips Exeter A cademy, July,
