Excerpt from A First Course in Analytical Geometry: Plane and Solid With Numerous Examples
The vital difference between this book and similar works is that it does not attempt to perform the duty of both teacher and text-book at the same time. Many recent books contain too much in the way of spoon-feeding, and leave little or noth ing for the teacher. Such works, in general, are a failure pedagogically.
