Master analytic geometry with a clear, step-by-step approach.

This classic text introduces Cartesian coordinates and the geometry of curves through practical methods, rules, and worked examples that build confidence for solving real problems.

Starting from the basics of coordinates and distance, the book guides you through the full landscape of analytic geometry. It covers conic sections, circles, the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola, then moves to tangents, normals, and polars. You’ll also explore transformations, polar coordinates, and three-dimensional geometry, all with careful explanations and illustrative problems.

Ideal for self-study or coursework, this edition emphasizes how to translate geometric ideas into equations and how to apply them to design, physics, and engineering problems. Clear diagrams, stepwise derivations, and a broad range of exercises help you master the subject at your own pace.

Foundations of Cartesian coordinates and distance in the plane
Equations and properties of conic sections, including parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola
Tangents, normals, and focal concepts, with practical problem solving
Transformations, polar coordinates, and three-dimensional surfaces

Whether you’re revisiting fundamentals or tackling advanced topics, this book is a solid companion for readers seeking a practical, methodical path through analytic geometry.
