Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this book, which is planned for an introductory course, the first eight chapters include the subjects usually treated in rectangular coordinates. They presuppose as much knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry as is contained in the major requirement of the College Entrance Examination Board, and as much plane analytic geometry as is contained in the better elementary textbooks. In this portion, proofs of theorems from more advanced subjects in algebra are supplied as needed. A mong the features of this part are the development of linear systems of planes, plane coordinates, the concept of infinity, the treatment of imaginaries, and the distinction between centers and vertices of quadric surfaces. The study of this portion can be regarded as a first course, not demanding more than thirty or forty lessons. In Chapter IX tetrahedral coordinates are introduced by means of linear transformations, under which various invariant properties are established. These coordinates are used throughout the next three chapters. The notation is so chosen that no ambiguity can arise between tetrahedral and rectangular systems. The selection of subject matter is such as to be of greatest service for further study of algebraic geometry. In Chapter XIII a more advanced knowledge of plane analytic geometry is presupposed, but the part involving Pliicker snumbers may be omitted without disturbing the continuity of the subject. In the last chapter extensive use is made of the calculus, including the use of partial differentiation and of the element of arc. The second part will require about fifty lessons.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
