Synopsis

A clear, time-tested guide to analytic geometry using algebraic symbols. This classic text shows how geometric ideas—lines, circles, conic sections, and surfaces—can be modeled with equations and solved with algebra. It blends foundational concepts with practical problem solving, making a complex subject approachable.

Originally prepared for the math courses of a leading military academy, the book presents methodical definitions, step-by-step solution techniques, and a broad range of problems. It covers the language of coordinates, the equations of lines and curves, and the geometry of solids and surfaces, with a steady emphasis on clear, workable methods.

• Foundations: how to represent points, lines, and planes with algebraic formulas


• Conics and curves: circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, including tangent and normal concepts


• Three-dimensional topics: equations of surfaces and tangent planes, and methods for space geometry


• Problem solving: determinate problems, transformations, and practical steps to final answers

Ideal for students and self‑learners seeking a solid, hands-on introduction to analytic geometry that connects theory with computation.

A propos du livre

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.
