Synopsis

This book is credited with first effectively categorising lines and conic sections, and also developing their formulas, for which it has been called one of the most important works on mathematics. Originally published in the 1850s, Plane Coordinate Geometry is still studied today for the author's insightful and clear elucidation of coordinate geometry topics, offering a valuable exposition of the concrete foundational ideas of the subject. The author's approach reflects his conviction that a student should first gain a firm grasp of the principles of the subject rather than becoming preoccupied with complex theories. This book provides exercises that effectively illustrate the most important points and has been tested by repeated experience with pupils.
