Synopsis

Conic Sections and Analytical Geometry: Theoretically and Practically Illustrated by Horatio N. Robinson explores how to describe and analyze lines in three dimensions using coordinate geometry.

This edition covers the foundations and practical steps for working with straight lines in space, from defining axes to constructing and solving line equations and understanding their relationships.

Through clear explanations and worked examples, you’ll learn to express a line analytically, determine when lines intersect, and find distances and inclinations relative to the three coordinate axes. The material builds toward solving classical problems in 3D geometry with a practical, problem‑solving approach.

• Find equations of a line in space from one or two points and from a given direction
• Determine whether two lines intersect and locate their point of intersection
• Compute the distance from a point to the origin and the length of a line segment in space
• Compute the inclinations of lines to the x, y, and z axes

Ideal for readers seeking a solid, applicable foundation in three‑dimensional analytic geometry.
