Synopsis

Elements of Geometry: Conic Sections, and Plane Trigonometry is a book written by Elias Loomis in 1895. This book is a comprehensive guide to the study of geometry, with a particular focus on conic sections and plane trigonometry. It is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the principles and concepts of geometry, as well as the ability to apply these principles to real-world problems.The book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the study of conic sections, which are geometric shapes formed by the intersection of a cone and a plane. This section includes a detailed discussion of the various types of conic sections, including circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The author provides numerous examples and exercises to help students understand these concepts.The second section of the book focuses on plane trigonometry, which is the study of the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. This section covers a wide range of topics, including trigonometric functions, the law of sines, the law of cosines, and the use of trigonometry in solving real-world problems.Throughout the book, the author provides clear explanations of the concepts and principles of geometry, as well as numerous examples and exercises to help students develop their understanding and skills. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students of all levels.Overall, Elements of Geometry: Conic Sections, and Plane Trigonometry is a valuable resource for anyone studying geometry. It provides a comprehensive and detailed guide to the study of geometry, with a particular focus on conic sections and plane trigonometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
