A General Geometry and Calculus, Vol. 1: Including, of the General Geometry, Treating of Loci in a Plane; And an Elementary Course in the Differential and Integral Calculus (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book introduces the Method of Coordinates, a geometric system that represents shapes with algebraic equations. The author first presents the system of Rectilinear Coordinates, which uses perpendicular axes to locate points on a plane, and then introduces the system of Polar Coordinates, which uses the distance from a fixed point and the angle from a fixed direction to locate points on a plane. The book then explores various types of curves, including conic sections (ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas), and shows how to construct these curves using the equations of loci. The author concludes by discussing the use of calculus to investigate properties of curves. This book is a valuable resource for students and professionals who need to understand the Method of Coordinates and its applications in mathematics and physics.
