About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Elements of Solid Geometry

In carrying forward a course of mathematical study, nothing can make amends for hasty or imperfect prepara tion. However, since Plane Geometry is an almost uni versal requirement for admission to college, it becomes possible, by means of the entrance examinations to enter in the subject of Solid Geometry, only those students who are already well trained in Euclidian methods of demonstration and investigation.
