Synopsis

This book presents a method for solving geometrical problems by expressing the unknown quantities in algebraic equations. It reveals how this method was developed and applied, offering a detailed overview of Analytic Geometry from its origins in Descartes’ work to its use in more complex geometrical problems. The author provides a clear explanation of how to construct algebraic quantities geometrically, showing how to apply geometric principles to interpret the results of algebraic operations, and how to represent geometric quantities algebraically. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and development of mathematics, and provides deep insights into the relationship between algebra and geometry.
