Synopsis

This book is an introduction to analytical geometry and the mechanics of the celestial bodies. The author assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of the subject and begins with the most basic principles, gradually introducing more complex concepts as the book progresses. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the geometry of curves, surfaces, solids, and their properties; as well as the laws of motion of material points, and the laws of planetary motion. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and it is well-suited for self-study or as a textbook for a first course in analytical geometry and celestial mechanics. The author's insights on these subjects provide a solid foundation for further study in mathematics and physics.
