Synopsis

This book provides an accessible introduction to analytical geometry, a fundamental branch of mathematics that applies algebra to the study of geometrical problems. The author presents a clear and systematic approach, beginning with the basics of the subject and gradually progressing to more complex concepts. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the equation of a point, straight line, and circle; transformations of coordinates; and the discussion of general second-degree equations. The author also explores the application of analytical geometry to solving problems in areas such as conic sections, surfaces of the second order, and three-dimensional space. By combining theoretical explanations with solved examples and exercises, this book provides a solid foundation for students and anyone interested in understanding analytical geometry. Its insights are essential for those seeking to delve deeper into the subject and its applications in various fields.
