Synopsis

This book concerns itself with analytic geometry, a mathematical discipline developed out of the historic marriage of geometric and algebraic methods of inquiry. One branch of mathematics dealt with fixed objects and their properties, and the other with questions of quantity. By establishing connections between these areas, the author provides readers with a means to depict geometric figures with algebraic equations and equations with diagrams. Within these pages, you will find a clear and structured exploration of analytic geometry, including foundational ideas, techniques for constructing geometric loci from given equations, and methods for deducing the equations of given loci. These techniques are illustrated throughout by geometric problems whose solutions demonstrate the power of this valuable mathematical tool.
