About this Item

Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth exploration of analytic geometry, a foundational branch of mathematics concerned with representing geometric figures using algebraic equations. The author employs a clear and methodical approach, gradually introducing concepts from directed lines, angles, and conic sections to more complex ideas such as transformations of coordinates and loci. The text is richly illustrated with diagrams and examples, providing a comprehensive visual aid to the subject. This book will be of great value to students and practitioners of mathematics and related disciplines, offering a solid understanding of the principles and applications of analytic geometry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

About this title

Synopsis

Plane and Solid Analytic Geometry: An Elementary Textbook — a classic guide to space geometry that builds understanding through clear explanations and plenty of practice.

This edition surveys core topics in analytic geometry, including quadric surfaces, tangent planes, and the geometry of space. It combines definitions, derivations, and a wealth of worked examples with problems to reinforce learning. The text emphasizes how to translate geometric ideas into equations and how to analyze surfaces, lines, and curves in three dimensions.

• Foundations of projective and polar coordinates as they apply to space figures


• Rational treatment of ruled surfaces, tangent planes, and normals for quadric surfaces


• Techniques for obtaining tangent lines, subtangents, subnormals, and diametral planes


• Step-by-step problem sets that illustrate methods and applications

Ideal for readers seeking a solid, methodical introduction to analytic geometry and its classical results, with a focus on the geometry of three-dimensional space.
