Synopsis

""Coordinate Geometry"" by Henry Burchard Fine is a comprehensive textbook that covers the principles and applications of coordinate geometry. The book is designed for students studying mathematics, physics, engineering, and other related fields. The content is organized into seven chapters, starting with an introduction to the Cartesian coordinate system and basic concepts such as distance, slope, and equations of lines. The subsequent chapters cover topics such as conic sections, polar coordinates, and parametric equations. The book also includes sections on vectors, matrices, and transformations. Each chapter includes numerous examples, exercises, and problems with solutions to help students practice and reinforce their understanding of the material. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students with varying levels of mathematical background. Overall, ""Coordinate Geometry"" is a valuable resource for students and professionals seeking a thorough understanding of coordinate geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this book the several conies are treated early and in some detail, partly because of the value of a knowledge of their more important properties, partly because of the advantage, when presenting the analytic method to the student, of applying it in the first instance in the systematic study of a few interesting curves. In deference to usage, a chapter on the circle is introduced immediately after that on the straight line; but, if experience is to be trusted, it is better in a first course to proceed from the straight line directly to the parabola, so that, as early as possible, the student may get the impression which comes from seeing a method employed in the investigation of new material. The conies and the curves considered inC hapter XI afford illustrations of the study of locus problems by the method of coordinate geometry; and these illustrations are followed by a collection of exercises on loci inC hapter XII. The part of the book devoted to solid geometry is more extended than is customary in elementary text-books; but it is desirable that the material here given should be easily accessible to students. A pamphlet containing portions of the book has been in use atP rinceton for three years. According to the experience thus gained, it should be possible for the better students to cover the text of the plane geometry, with the exception of Chapters III, VII, VIII, in a first-year course of three hours a week through half a year, and the remainder of the book in a secondyear course of the same length.
